How to apply for a U.S. LLC with Northwest

Have your state, legal name and registered agent plan ready before opening the application.

Formation

Choose LLC as the entity type and verify the jurisdiction. Compare the state charge with the provider’s fee and check whether expedited processing is optional.

Company name

Check availability in the official state register. Enter the name with the required LLC ending and keep alternatives ready.

Account and addresses

Enter the requested contact and ownership information on the provider’s site. Check which addresses will appear on the public filing. A registered agent address may not qualify for banking or payments.

Review before paying

Check the first-year package, recurring agent fee, optional EIN or address services and the total. Keep your receipt. Save the approved state filing separately after formation.
