How To Start A Business In Louisiana
Entrepreneurship in LouisianaLouisiana natives have invented everything from the binocular microscope to the multiple effect evaporator. In fact, Louisiana is the birthplace of Jazz! So it's no wonder so many great entrepreneurs have come from Louisiana.
With people like Wayne Taylor (founder of the Texas Roadhouse), and Colonel Sanders (Founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken) to look up to, the people of Louisiana love to lead entrepreneurial teams that change the world.
Home to the cultural center of New Orleans and its extravagant Mardi Gras celebration, the pelican state is a great place to start your small business.
Registering Your BusinessRegistering your business is one of the first steps to success.
And with Louisiana’s 100 dollar fee for starting an LLC, it's important you get it right.
Decide what kind of model is right for you (LLP, LLC, Corporation, Sole Proprietorship). Most small businesses start with an LLC. If you’d like an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp done for you, we’d be happy to do that on your behalf.
Market AnalysisBefore you start your business, look around to understand the market in Louisiana.
With an abundance of rich natural resources, Louisiana has a ton of business potential.
According to TaxFoundation.org, Louisiana ranks a medium 24th in the property tax rank.
Competitor AnalysisAnother good way to understand Louisiana’s market is to visit your local Chambers of Commerce.
You can use your local chamber of commerce to identify opportunities and threats in your local community. It’s a great way to get started on the bottom 2 quadrants of your SWOT analysis.
We’d recommend looking through it and identifying competitors in your industry, and identify the points of parity you need to live up to, and how to better leverage your points of differentiation.
