What Northwest does well

Straightforward pricing and privacy. Formation is $39 plus the state fee with a year of registered agent service included, renewing at $125 a year, and Northwest lists its own address on filings where states allow it, keeping yours off the public record.

What it doesn't do

Northwest files and forwards; it doesn't model taxes or tell you which state to form in. Founders still need to handle state annual reports, franchise taxes, and federal filings themselves or through an accountant.

Where StateDues fits

Use our guides to decide between Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, or your home state, and our calendar to track the filings that follow, then hire any agent.

Before you buy any formation service

State fees are the same whichever provider files for you, and they usually cost more than the provider. Check the five-year cost by state, whether your team creates nexus elsewhere, and what a registered agent should cost.
