In this video, I walk you through exactly how to start an LLC with Northwest Registered Agent, step by step, in a process that takes under 15 minutes. I show you the same screens you’ll see—Order, Company, Management, Contact, Account, Business Identity, Optional Items, and Payment—so you always know where you are and what to choose. Along the way, I explain the key decision points like picking the right state (for most people, it’s where you actually live and do business), choosing standard vs. expedited processing, and how the order summary updates so you can see every charge in real time. I also cover the parts that trip beginners up: naming your LLC (including doing a state name search and a quick USPTO trademark search), writing a simple business purpose, and choosing what address to list for privacy. I show why using Northwest’s registered agent address can keep your home address off public records in many states, and I explain member-managed vs. manager-managed (most people should stick with member-managed). Finally, I break down the optional add-ons so you don’t waste money—EIN, S-corp election, premium mail, trademark filing, and DBA. I’ll tell you what I would personally pay for, what I’d skip, and what happens after you pay, including renewal filings and how Northwest can notify you and file reports for you if you stay enrolled.
