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.

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.

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.

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.
