In depth
Packages
Northwest lists LLC packages at $79 (formation and registered agent), $179 (Deluxe, adds EIN and operating agreement) and $199 (Premium, adds same-day processing). Registered-agent service is free for the first year, then $125/year with no contract. State filing fees depend on the state. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
MCP scope
The MCP server exposes the same tools as Mark, Northwest's in-portal assistant: reading and managing companies, filings, invoices, domains, email and phone service. It can pay invoices with a card on file. Northwest says it runs its own models and does not train on your data. source ↗
