Everything sits under a single trust, with you as grantor and beneficiary. Below that, one holding company owns three purpose-built entities — treasury, media operations, and future investments — keeping each function separate and clean.
What each entity is for, where it's formed, and where it stands today.
The formal filing record for each entity, and an honest note on one thing still in progress: getting the ownership records fully into your name.
| Entity | Filing # | EIN | Member of Record (State Filing) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zarova Holdings, LLC | WY 2026-002027913 | 42-3745951 | Emanay Ventures (interim) |
| Zarova Media, LLC | FL | 42-4049522 | Zarova Holdings, LLC |
| Zarova Media Services, LLC | FL L26000386774 | 42-4076421 | Zarova Media, LLC |
Where things stand on ownership — Zarova Media and Zarova Media Services are already recorded exactly as intended: each owned by the entity above it in the structure. Zarova Holdings is the one piece still catching up: because your trust wasn't yet executed at the time of formation, and U.S. entity formation requires a named member and a responsible party with a U.S. taxpayer ID to get started, Emanay's own affiliate and principal were used as interim placeholders to get Holdings filed and its EIN issued on schedule.
This is a standard step in structures like yours when the ultimate owner doesn't yet have a U.S. taxpayer ID or an executed trust in hand — but it's not the finish line. Two things still need to happen to put full ownership of Zarova Holdings in your name (through your trust): a formal assignment of the membership interest, and an update to the IRS record naming the trust as the responsible party. Both are called out in the Path Forward section below.
Four agreements connect the entities to each other, and connect you to the structure itself.
Agreement
Agreement
Both of your agreements sit with Zarova Media, LLC directly — not Zarova Media Services, which handles administrative and services support at the entity level (above).
Where your income actually goes, step by step — from your platform earnings to what lands with you personally, following the agreements in Section 04.
What's confirmed vs. what's still pending — The $90,000/month gross figure and the path funds actually take are accurate as of today: Paxum deposits into Zarova Media Services' business account (converted via SDM). Your Services Agreement and Artist Management Agreement are contractually with Zarova Media, LLC — Zarova Media Services handles the payment administratively on Zarova Media's behalf, then remits 10% of gross up to Zarova Media under their own MSA, as the confirmed management fee for the corporate work Zarova Media handles. Given the trust structure, Zarova Media is not electing corporate tax treatment at this time — it remains a standard pass-through entity. The specific split between your Services Agreement fee and Artist Management fee within the remaining 90%, and the actual tax outcome under the trust structure, are not yet finalized — that will be provided by our accounting lead as a specific, line-by-line breakdown rather than an estimate.
A simple, clean chain of ownership designed around you — with one step still to complete (see Section 03). And one important distinction: you own this business, and you also work for it.
The Full Chain
The Trust (you as grantor and beneficiary) sits at the top and owns Zarova Holdings, LLC. Holdings, in turn, owns three entities beneath it: Zarova Capital (reserves), Zarova Media (operations), and Zarova Ventures (future investments). Zarova Media owns Zarova Media Services, which is where your employment and artist agreements sit. Every layer of this chain ultimately traces back to you, through the trust — nothing in the structure is owned by Emanay, once the pending assignment in Section 03 is complete.
Why This Shape
Separating treasury (Zarova Capital), operations (Zarova Media), and future investing (Zarova Ventures) keeps each function clean — your day-to-day income doesn't mix with reserves, and reserves don't mix with new deals. Everything still rolls up to one holding company, so you have one clear picture of the whole structure.
You're the Owner — and a Contractor
This is worth being explicit about, because it can look contradictory at first: through the trust, you own the entire structure. But day to day, you also hold a Services Agreement and a separate Artist Management Agreement with Zarova Media, LLC — meaning formally, you're engaged as an independent contractor and managed artist by a company you own, not as its employee.
Why That's Normal Here
This is standard in family-business and loan-out structures, not unusual or contradictory. It's what lets your compensation be paid, taxed, and documented as a real contractor fee and a real management fee — rather than the company just handing you money with no formal basis — while ownership and the long-term value of the business stay with you, through the trust, regardless of your role as a contractor day to day.
