Northwest is the formation service we recommend when you want the filing done correctly and nothing else sold to you.
Why we vetted Northwest
Pricing is straight and the checkout is not a cart full of add-ons you have to decline. That alone puts it ahead of most formation services.
They are careful with what ends up on public filings, which matters if you run the business from home.
Pair it with a Chicago address
File with a Lobi Space virtual office address rather than your apartment. The address on your Illinois filing follows you for years and shows up in public records and mailing lists.
Why it made our list
- Pricing is straight and the checkout does not bury you in upsells, which is rarer in this category than it should be.
- They keep your home address off public filings, the main reason most owners hire an agent in the first place.
- If you are forming in several states at once, one dashboard and one renewal date is worth real money in avoided admin.
