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.

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.
