I spent a lot of time choosing between… I spent a lot of time choosing between formation services. Ultimately I went with Northwest to start my LLC because although they don't look the cheapest, they are much cheaper in the second year. They don't explain this very well on their site, but if you look at how much other companies are renovating, you'll see that Northwest doesn't bother with hidden fees. Plus, their emphasis on customer privacy is nice because you don't have to list your home address.

THEIR FEES ARE LIES. I almost used Northwest Registered Agent to start my first LLC. It was only $39 "plus state fees," so I thought I could learn from seeing it done right. They listed the "state fees" as $520 for 5-day processing, $555 for 3-day, and $595 for 1-day. THAT'S THE LIE. The actual Massachusetts state fee is $520, and it's 1-day processing for everyone! Any extra above that is NOT a state fee, it's pure profit for Northwest Registered Agent to do nothing and just sit on your application for 3-5 extra days. Sure, ZenBusiness and others have the same scummy business nodel, but they don't LIE about what they're doing. LYING turns this from scummy to scammy. LYING means that I wouldn't trust any of their positive reviews, either.

Not reliable, don't risk your business The portal is frustratingly slow and often requires multiple refreshes to function properly. Additionally, the billing process is overly complicated and confusing. I initially attempted to cancel my service and even disputed the charge with my bank. However, I canceled the dispute when they finally registered my LLC. Despite this, they canceled my services a week later, citing an issue with receiving payment from my bank. I have now reopened the dispute with my bank to recover my funds. now I have to pay (filing fee) $55 to change the agent unless they hold any document they receive. they don't answer emails for support and call is 50/50 chance that you would connect with them.

Seems fraudulent This was my first time using this company. I paid for a virtual office which cost $29, however when i logged into their dashboard, there was no address for this virtual office. When you click on their live chat button, you get this "Hey there! If it's between the hours of 6am-4pm PST, we're assisting other clients and someone will be available soon! You can also reach us at (email address not allowed on trust pilot ) or by phone at 509-768-2249". There is no place to type a message on the live chat, it just displays that message. I called the number multiple times and it said not reachable. Sent emails but no one has responded till now. There is a button to cancel your order HOWEVER, when you cancel, the record of that service disappears, and you do not get a refund, which is strange because since it is a monthly fee, it should show the days you have left for the supposed service. I quickly contacted my bank to cancel and dispute the transaction. It all seemed strange because they seem quite known. My recommendation is try to call and speak with them before you make any purchases with them.

Don’t believe the BS - NW Rocks Leaving review because either the bad reviews are fake or left by morons. Either way, my formation experience was fantastic. Formed my LLC in Delaware super fast. Got an EIN and didn’t have to sacrifice my home address and I didn’t have to pay extra. Their corporate guides were great answered all my questions, even though I called like 20 times and their privacy by default policy is pretty dang refreshing.
