Easy to contact Easy to contact, an actual person picks up. Emails I’ve sent have been responded to within the same day. Plenty of free information if you’d like to perform tasks yourself to save money. In their surveys they don’t ask between 7 genders what you are like competitors. Light years better than ZenBusiness or LegalZoom.

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.

Don't bother I was not impressed with their virtual office service, so I canceled it after just one month. It was WAY more of a hassle than I anticipated for my new small business. They take days to get back to you via email (or you can call and leave a voicemail because they never answer their phone), and my inquiries were never really answered to my satisfaction. The real kicker? After you cancel your service, they do indeed hold any documents you get in the mail after that hostage! You have to pay $50 to view them (the monthly office service is only $40). I've already updated my business address on all my registrations and submitted mail forwarding the day I ended service with them, so pretty disappointed.

No address verification, support is slow They do not provide any business address verification, so their services are not suitable for selling on Amazon or eBay or Walmart. Also support answers you once a day, so it took me a week to solve a simple question.

Unimpressive customer service so far The main reason I selected Northwest was their supposedly fantastic customer service. I'm still waiting for that customer service to appear. They do not answer the phone, they do not return calls, they do not respond to emails, and they do not apparently check their own emails because this afternoon, they wrote asking me for information that I had already sent the first time they asked for it this morning. I hope this is just an uncharacteristic lapse, and that things will improve from here on out. I would like to be able to update this review with something positive...but that's going to be up to them.
