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.

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.
All three CP575 notices (Zarova Holdings, Zarova Media, Zarova Media Services) can be found in your Emanay Client Google Chat portal, in the Pinned Resources tab — which takes you to your data room.
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 can be found in your Emanay Client Google Chat portal, in the Pinned Resources tab — which takes you to your data room. This trust already exists and is legally enforceable — it legally establishes your beneficial ownership today, and isn't something you need to do anything further about. What's left is a straightforward administrative step: formally reflecting this at the state level so Zarova Holdings' public record matches what the Declaration of Trust already establishes. That's addressed directly in Question 4.

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. The trust already exists and is legally enforceable — our direction is simply to formally reflect its ownership of Zarova Holdings at the state level. Once that's done, updating the IRS responsible-party record becomes a routine administrative step, not something that requires any further trust work first. It's a future option to formalize the IRS record, not a substitute for the state-level update, and not something blocking anything else.
Yes — a trust already exists, and it's legally enforceable today. 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 can be found in your Emanay Client Google Chat portal, in the Pinned Resources tab — which takes you to your data room. It's doing its job today: it's what establishes that you, not Emanay, beneficially own Zarova Holdings.
To be exact about what kind of instrument this is: it's a nominee/bare trust declaration — a focused document that 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 independent trustee, succession provisions, and the like.
To be clear, you don't need that broader instrument right now — the trust in place already does what's needed. If down the road you'd like a more comprehensive family trust (naming a permanent independent trustee, building out succession planning, etc.), that's something we're glad to help with as a separate, optional engagement whenever you're ready — but it isn't required to move forward with anything described in this response.
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.
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.
On the mechanics we can confirm directly: platform income lands at Zarova Media Services, LLC via a business Paxum account, processed through a third-party payment provider. 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.
One scope point worth being explicit about: this structure is built for your U.S.-source income specifically. If you have other income streams, those remain entirely separate from Zarova for now — we're not routing everything you earn through this structure. Once your combined income passes $150,000/month, we can introduce a separate international structure to address that additional income. That's a future step whenever it's relevant, not something needed today.
Figure 2 — Flow of Funds
| Entity | Function | What Breaks Without It |
|---|---|---|
| Zarova Holdings, LLC | Parent entity; holds membership interests in every other entity | No single point of ownership or control — each entity would sit disconnected, with no consolidated governance |
| Zarova Media, LLC | Operating company; contracting party for your Services and Artist Management Agreements; remains a pass-through entity given the trust structure | No entity to actually hold your agreements or receive the remitted management fee — this is the core operating piece |
| Zarova Media Services, LLC | Services 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, LLC | Treasury; will hold reserves separately from operating cash | Reserves would sit inside the operating entity, exposed to the same operating risk as day-to-day income |
| Zarova Ventures, LLC | Future investment vehicle for passive/minority stakes | Any 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.
