Thank you for these questions — they're exactly the right ones to ask, and you deserve straight answers. We've organized our response in the order you raised them, and we're not going to soften anything: where something is done, we'll show you the document; where something isn't done yet, we'll say so plainly and tell you what happens next.

01 · Entity Structure & Registration
What Actually Exists Today
Question 1
Please list every entity that has actually been registered — names, states, formation dates, and EINs. Which ones exist versus which are only planned?
EntityStateStatusFormation DateEIN
Zarova Holdings, LLCWyomingRegistered07/10/202642-3745951
Zarova Media, LLCFloridaRegistered07/18/202642-4049522
Zarova Media Services, LLCFloridaRegistered07/21/202642-4076421
Zarova Capital, LLCWyomingNot yet formed
Zarova Ventures, LLCWyomingNot yet formed

Three entities exist and are fully registered with the state and the IRS. Two — Zarova Capital and Zarova Ventures — are planned but not yet filed. Nothing currently operates through either of them, and no income or activity should be attributed to them.

Question 2
Send over all EIN documents — either 147C letters or CP575 notices.

All three CP575 notices (Zarova Holdings, Zarova Media, Zarova Media Services) are on file and attached separately to this response.


02 · Ownership & Beneficial Interest
Whose Name Is Actually On These Entities
Question 3
Are all registered entities now in my name? Please send the transfer/assignment documents and current operating agreements showing me as sole member.

Not fully, and we want to be precise about exactly where things stand rather than round up.

Zarova Media, LLC and Zarova Media Services, LLC are each correctly recorded as owned by the entity directly above them in the structure — Zarova Media is owned by Zarova Holdings, and Zarova Media Services is owned by Zarova Media. That part of the chain is clean.

Zarova Holdings, LLC — the top entity — is the one piece still catching up. Because entity formation requires a named member and a U.S.-taxpayer-ID-holding responsible party to get started, and your trust wasn't executed at the time of formation, Emanay Ventures LLC was used as an interim placeholder at the state level, and Alexandre Camus was listed as the EIN responsible party with the IRS. Neither reflects true ownership.

To address this immediately rather than waiting on state and IRS paperwork to catch up, a Declaration of Trust was executed on July 12, 2026, under which Emanay Ventures LLC formally declares it holds all membership interests in Zarova Holdings, LLC in trust for you, and has "no personal or beneficial interest" in them. That document is attached. It legally establishes your beneficial ownership today. The step that actually completes this is transferring Zarova Holdings' membership interest directly into your trust once the trust instrument is executed — that's the real fix, and it's addressed directly in Question 4.

Question 4
Have Form 8822-B been filed to inform the IRS of the change of the EIN responsible party, if the responsible party wasn't me in the beginning?

Not yet, and to be precise about our actual plan: this isn't the primary fix, and may not be needed at all. No Form 8822-B has been filed for any of the three EINs. Rather than filing this now, our direction is to transfer Zarova Holdings' membership interest directly into your trust once the trust instrument is executed — at that point, updating the IRS responsible-party record becomes a routine administrative step, not the thing that actually fixes ownership. Filing 8822-B first, before the trust exists, wouldn't accomplish that on its own; it's a future option to formalize the IRS record once the underlying ownership transfer is done, not a substitute for it.

Question 5
Has a trust been set up? If yes, please send the trust deed showing the grantor, trustee, and beneficiaries — and explain what purpose it serves in my situation.

Yes, in the specific form described above: a Declaration of Trust dated July 12, 2026, naming Emanay Ventures LLC as Trustee and you as Beneficiary, over the membership interests in Zarova Holdings, LLC. This is attached in full.

To be exact about what this is and isn't: this is a nominee/bare trust declaration — it exists specifically to make sure that Emanay Ventures holding the Wyoming filing as a formation placeholder never actually meant Emanay owned anything, from the day the entity was formed. It is not a broader family or estate-planning trust with its own named independent trustee and succession terms — that kind of instrument, if you want one, is a separate undertaking requiring dedicated trust counsel and has not yet been started.


03 · Tax Elections & Money Flow
How Income Moves and What It Owes
Question 6
Has the corporate tax election (Form 8832) already been filed for Zarova Media LLC? If yes, on what date, and can I see the filing?

No, and to be direct about the actual plan: it isn't going to be filed at this time. Given the trust structure being used — the trust owning Zarova Holdings, which owns Zarova Media — the direction is for Zarova Media to remain a standard pass-through entity rather than elect corporate tax treatment. There is no Form 8832 filing to show you because none is planned right now.

Question 7
Why elect corporate treatment at all, given that a foreign-owned pass-through LLC would owe 0% US tax? What specifically does the election gain me?

You're right to push on this, and the answer is: we're not electing it. Given the trust structure, there's no longer a reason to elect corporate treatment — Zarova Media stays a pass-through entity by default. Your question here is actually what changed our direction; a general justification for a corporate election wasn't holding up, and the cleaner answer is not to make the election at all.

Question 8
You said my effective tax would come down to ~3%. Walk me through exactly how: if 100% of my income lands in a company paying 21% corporate tax, what deductions bring it down, and what real expenses do those deductions correspond to?
That 3% figure was built around a corporate election that is no longer the plan — treat it as withdrawn, not just unconfirmed. With Zarova Media staying pass-through under the trust structure, the 21%-corporate-tax-on-a-margin mechanism this figure was based on doesn't apply. What your actual tax outcome looks like under the trust structure still needs to come from our accounting lead, worked through with real numbers — we're not going to replace one unverified figure with another.
Question 9
Which entity receives the OnlyFans money, and how does money legally move between the entities and eventually to me? What tax is triggered at each step?

On the mechanics we can confirm directly: platform income lands at Zarova Media Services, LLC via a business Paxum account, converted through a third-party crypto-to-fiat conversion provider (SDM / Secured Digital Markets). Media Services pays you directly under your Services Agreement and Artist Management Agreement — both contractually with Zarova Media, LLC — and remits 10% of gross up to Zarova Media under their MSA as an internal management fee. Zarova Media does not hold a corporate tax election; it's a pass-through entity given the trust structure above it.

On what tax is triggered at each step for you personally — that is a substantive tax question that needs to come from accounting, not from us describing the mechanics. We don't want to give you an informal tax answer to a question this consequential. We'll get you a written breakdown of the tax treatment at each stage of that flow.

04 · Entity Function & Necessity
What Each Entity Is Actually For
Question 10
What is the specific function of each entity — Zarova Media, Zarova Holdings, Zarova Capital, Zarova Ventures, and Zarova Media Services? What would break if any one of them didn't exist? Why does a single-person content business need more than one company?
EntityFunctionWhat Breaks Without It
Zarova Holdings, LLCParent entity; holds membership interests in every other entityNo single point of ownership or control — each entity would sit disconnected, with no consolidated governance
Zarova Media, LLCOperating company; contracting party for your Services and Artist Management Agreements; remains a pass-through entity given the trust structureNo entity to actually hold your agreements or receive the remitted management fee — this is the core operating piece
Zarova Media Services, LLCServices subsidiary; handles administrative payment processing for your Services and Artist Management Agreements (which sit contractually with Zarova Media)Payment processing would have to happen directly at Zarova Media, mixing operating income with contractor/talent payment administration
Zarova Capital, LLCTreasury; will hold reserves separately from operating cashReserves would sit inside the operating entity, exposed to the same operating risk as day-to-day income
Zarova Ventures, LLCFuture investment vehicle for passive/minority stakesAny future investments would have to run through the operating or treasury entity, mixing investment risk with operating and reserve funds

On the direct question — does a single-person business need this many entities: not necessarily at the size you're at today. The structure is built for where the business is headed, not just where it is now — separating operating income, reserves, and future investing so each has its own liability boundary and its own clean accounting, rather than restructuring later under pressure. That's a legitimate planning choice, but it's fair for you to weigh the added complexity and cost against the benefit at your current stage, and we're glad to walk through that trade-off directly if you'd like a second opinion on right-sizing it.


05 · Banking
Accounts Opened to Date
Question 11
Which bank accounts have been opened, at which banks, in which entity's name? Please send confirmation/statements. Has a bank account also been opened for the Wyoming company?
