Northwest has been incredibly helpful and reactive in helping me set up my LLC and fix filing errors (from me) super quickly. I reached out to their support and their support was super helpful and responded within two hours. I’d absolutely recommend this service to anyone who wants to build their company without any headache!

I had the pleasure of working with Cady this evening. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful in assisting me with setting up my LLC. I truly appreciated the personal touch she offered throughout the process. It’s reassuring to know that I can reach out to her directly by phone or email if I have any further questions.

I’ve used this company for a few years now for my LLC and to do a few different things; such as annual minutes, converting my LLC from CA to ID, and such. They are really good at following up and letting you know the process for whatever you need.
