Why Founders Are Leaving Northwest Registered Agent
Real issues reported by Northwest Registered Agent customers
Essential Add-Ons Cost Extra
"The base price is low, but by the time you add EIN filing ($50) and operating agreement ($50), the price is not that different from all-inclusive services."
Northwest uses a-la-carte pricing. EIN assistance, operating agreement, and other essentials are each sold separately.
No Bank Account Setup
"After getting my LLC formed, I still had to figure out opening a bank account on my own. As a non-resident, this was the hardest part."
Northwest does not offer bank account setup assistance, which is one of the biggest challenges for non-resident founders.
Higher Registered Agent Renewal
"The first year was free, but the $125/year renewal is higher than some competitors charge."
After the free first year, registered agent service renews at $125/year, which is on the higher end of the market.
Not Specialized for Non-Residents
"Northwest can form LLCs for non-residents, but their process is not specifically designed for international founders."
While Northwest serves non-residents, their process is primarily designed for US-based entrepreneurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from Northwest Registered Agent to StartGlobal
Northwest has an excellent reputation and A+ BBB rating. However, their a-la-carte pricing means you pay extra for EIN ($50), operating agreement ($50), and they do not offer bank account setup. StartGlobal includes everything for $599 and specializes in non-resident formation.
Northwest offers a low base price ($39) but essential services cost extra. EIN filing is $50, operating agreement is $50, and bank account setup is not offered. When you add up everything you need, the total is closer to all-inclusive services like StartGlobal.
