Bizee vs. Northwest Registered Agent: Registered Agent Service Comparison

How Each Company Prices Registered Agent Service

As published on each company's own site in October 2026, Bizee includes registered agent service free for the first year with any LLC formation package, renewing afterward at $149 a year. Northwest Registered Agent bundles one year of registered agent service into its $39-plus-state-fee LLC formation package, then renews at $125 a year, a rate Northwest Registered Agent specifically states is fixed and never raised. Bizee has also tested shorter free periods, from three to twelve months depending on package, according to its own published notes, so confirm the free period length at checkout rather than assuming a full year applies in every case.

Renewal Price Is Where the Two Diverge Most

Once the first free year ends, Northwest Registered Agent's $125-a-year renewal is $24 a year lower than Bizee's $149-a-year renewal, based on each company's October 2026 published pricing. Over several years of owning an LLC, this gap compounds, since the registered agent fee recurs every year the business exists.

Operating Agreement Differences

Northwest Registered Agent includes an operating agreement with its LLC formation package at no separate published charge. Bizee includes an operating agreement in its Standard and Premium packages, but in its Basic package an operating agreement is a $99 add-on, published on its order form (an older Bizee comparison page separately listed this add-on at $40, so confirm the current price at checkout).

EIN Filing Price Comparison

Northwest Registered Agent publishes two EIN service prices: $50 with an SSN, or $200 for an EIN service without an SSN (relevant to non-U.S. applicants). Bizee's EIN add-on is published at $70 in its Basic package, included free in Standard and Premium. For an applicant with an SSN, Northwest Registered Agent's $50 figure is lower than Bizee's $70 Basic add-on price; for an applicant without an SSN, Northwest Registered Agent's $200 figure is higher.

Annual Report Filing

Northwest Registered Agent charges $100 plus the state's own fee for annual report filing, charged at the time of filing. Bizee's comparison page publishes annual report filing at $99 plus the state fee, close to Northwest Registered Agent's published rate.

How LLC Register compares

LLC Register's registered agent service is $99 a year, the same price at renewal. LLC formation in year one and annual report filing are included, while most providers charge $99 to $199 a year extra for annual report filing. State fees are passed through at cost and shown before checkout.

What to Confirm Before You Choose

Both companies' free first-year offers make the headline price look identical at signup, so the renewal price, not the first-year rate, is the more useful number to compare. Confirm the exact free period at checkout for either company, and decide whether you need EIN filing without an SSN, since that single line item swings the comparison significantly in Northwest Registered Agent's published pricing.

A Fixed Renewal Price Removes Some Uncertainty

Northwest Registered Agent's published statement that its $125-a-year renewal price does not increase is a specific, checkable claim distinct from a provider that simply has not raised its price yet. If a stable, predictable renewal rate matters to you, that published commitment is worth weighing alongside the dollar amount itself.

Confirm Bizee's Free Period at Checkout

Because Bizee has tested offering a free registered agent period shorter than a full year for some packages, according to its own published notes, confirm exactly what period applies to the specific package you are ordering before assuming a full free year.

The EIN Comparison Depends on Your Situation

Whether Northwest Registered Agent or Bizee is less expensive for EIN filing depends entirely on whether you have an SSN. An EIN is always free to obtain directly from the IRS regardless of which provider's paid assistance service you compare.

Confirm Multi-State Availability

If your LLC needs a registered agent in more than one state, confirm both companies offer service in each state you need before comparing a single state's pricing as if it applied everywhere.

This Is Not Legal or Tax Advice

Which add-ons, such as an operating agreement or EIN filing assistance, are worth paying for depends on your specific business. Talk to a tax professional, and verify current prices directly on each company's site before ordering.
