02In fairness

Where Northwest is stronger, and where it costs you.

Stronger

  • A long-established registered agent, with a renewal price that has stayed at $125.
  • The $39 includes the first agent year, a business address, mail scanning, a domain, a website and email.
  • It puts its own address on state filings in place of yours where the state allows.

Where it costs you

  • It's a registered agent first, and nothing in the $39 covers Form 5472 or a tax return.
  • The agent renews automatically at $125 unless you cancel before the date.

03The decision

Which one fits you.

Choose Northwest Registered Agent if

  • You know exactly what you want and in which state, and want a long-term registered agent at a low price.

If yours is not here, email us at [email protected] before you order.

For the filing and the agent alone, yes: $39 plus the state fee, then $125 a year. Our Starter is $289 plus the state fee, then $119 a year, and the difference buys the EIN obtained without an SSN, help with the bank and Stripe, and the compliance calendar. If you don't need those, Northwest is the better buy, and we'd say so.
