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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
