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.

So far, so good. So far, so good. Only been a client of theirs for 24 hours but I love how their staff are straight talking and gets the job done. It's a rarity these days then most companies allow their front-line staff to only communicate with customers via cut and pasted scripts. However, their Stageline system runs like a Windows 95 laptop (if any of you are old enough to remember having one of those!), its glitchy, it's buggy, and if this is a third party software provider, seriously, just get rid and put a new tender out. I spend more time seeing that buffering animation than I do actually a fully functioning page. Furthermore, I received an email stating they have uploaded my VO lease agreement - no such document has been uploaded. I also login and it goes back to the "Great work! You are one step closer to forming your company." page when the company is in the process of being formed, then it invites me to hire them as a RA - I've already hired them. It also tells me there are no services connected with my company despite having an email confirmation of all the services I have chosen. Great staff, poor IT.

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.

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.

Great for new business owner I signed up with Northwest Registered Agent a couple months ago, and they have been extremely helpful. One of the representatives called me to walk through their services and to ensure that I was all set up. Given this was the first time that I registered an LLC, it was great to have that immediate availability from Northwest's support staff.
