I formed my LLC with Northwest and the experience was smooth, with real people answering my questions and my privacy genuinely protected. Everything arrived correctly and on time. My only minor gripe is the formation fee sits a little higher than some budget rivals, though the service quality justifies it.
Privacy-focused with real human help
Formation costs a bit more than rivals
The first year of registered agent service was fine, but the renewal came in higher than I anticipated and the heads-up email landed buried among others. I'd have appreciated a clearer reminder before being charged. The service works, but the renewal communication needs improvement.
Renewal price increase with weak notice
Northwest does exactly what it promises without gimmicks or endless upsells, which I appreciate after using flashier competitors. Mail is scanned reliably and the dashboard is straightforward. The only small downside is that the website design feels a bit plain, but honestly that's a fair trade for substance over flash.
No upsells, reliable mail scanning
Plain, basic website
I chose Northwest specifically for their privacy approach and not selling your data, which I value highly. The formation went through but took longer than I'd hoped, and a couple of status updates were vague. Still a company I respect on principle, just a slightly underwhelming experience on speed this round.
Strong privacy commitment
Slower processing and vague updates
Northwest's 'Corporate Guides' are the real deal — every time I call, a knowledgeable human picks up and patiently answers my questions. They formed my LLC quickly, scan my mail promptly, and genuinely respect my privacy. After bad experiences elsewhere, this felt like a breath of fresh air.
Outstanding human support and privacy
