first, you should decide if you need a nevada llc. each state has pluses and minus, different tax advantages, legal advantages etc.
Nevada is famous because it does not have an information sharing agreement with the IRS and they have a lot of laws for secrecy and even more or less have "bearer shares" to veil the true ownership of a company. to do all that, you need an attorney.
there are many "agents" "attorneys" and other "specialists" that are in Nevada to help facilitate this. a lot of them are scammers.
the best advice i can tell anyone is this:
DONT BUY A SHELF COMPANY because it is cheap, fast or convienent. you have no idea what pending legal actions are against that company, what its history is, whether or not it was a front for selling illegal weapons to third world countries... or how much money it may owe to the IRS.
you have to form a new company.
