Creating LLC in Minnesota
I'm in the process of creating my LLC in Minnesota and I see LLC owners' names and addresses on the secretary of state website. Is it possible to create my LLC so that my address and name are not visible when people do a search of my LCC name, whether they search via the secretary of state website or via any other method?

@Janel Y. There is a few steps on how to do this:
First, form a Wyoming LLC, following methods of doing so remotely, which is an anonymous member filling.
Then, file for MN LLC, with the Wyoming LLC being the owner of said LLC. When MN LLC is searched it will follow bread-crumbs to the dead-end in Wyoming, which has strongest protections in country.
No method used in MN will protect your identity, it's a MN thing.
