Everstanding vs Northwest Registered Agent
Northwest is a good registered agent, and $125 a year is the right price for the service. The difference is what's included. Northwest charges another $100 plus the state fee each time it files your annual report. We include filing, because we prepare the report and you approve it in one tap.
