Service review
Northwest Registered Agent — review
Northwest's pitch: "Privacy by Default." When you form through Northwest, the only address listed in the state registry is theirs. Your home address never appears in public records.
Pricing
- $39 + state filing fee for the basic LLC formation
- Registered agent: included Year 1, $125/yr after
- Operating agreement: free template included
- EIN: $50 add-on (free DIY at IRS)
What sets them apart
- Privacy by Default — your name + address don't appear in public state records
- No upsells in checkout — the only formation service that doesn't ambush you with add-ons
- US-based phone support — actual humans, no chatbot maze
- Same-day service — paperwork ships out the day you file
Best for
Single-member LLCs where the owner doesn't want their home address listed. Multi-member LLCs forming in privacy-strong states (Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada) where the privacy benefit compounds. Anyone forming an out-of-state LLC who needs an in-state RA address.
Caveats
- $125/yr RA renewal is on the higher side — smaller boutique RAs run $35–$60
- No Series LLC support in states that allow them (TX, IL, NV, DE)
