Are you an international founder trying to setup a Wyoming holding company structure? We've made this guide so you can do it as easily as possible.

How to Set Up a Wyoming Holding Company Structure as an International Founder

A holding company is a company that owns other companies itself. The holding company itself doesn’t conduct business, but it owns companies that in turn conduct their own business. Heres a quick guide on how to create a holding company with doola!

Subsidiary Wyoming LLC -> Parent Wyoming LLC

One technique we see quite often is a Wyoming LLC is set up as a holding company first. Because a holding company is not engaged in operations, it’s a great choice to form it in a state like Wyoming, with its relatively low annual fees (to help save some ) and great privacy protection . The formation is done the same way any other entity would be set up with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Once that is set up, you can form your operations companies or subsidiary holding companies with the holding company (WY LLC) as the owner. This is one technique, and you may want to discuss with an attorney about other techniques for setting up holding companies and operations or subsidiaries 🙂

Subsidiary Wyoming LLC-> Parent International Company

Let’s finish with another example. Say you have a company that has already been formed in India or in Europe. What you can do is create a Wyoming LLC and have the company be the member of the LLC. This means that the “owner” or “member” of the LLC is a company.
