If you want to form a business entity that earns a profit, but limits taxes and personal liability, you may want to consider forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC). LLCs also have the same powers afforded to a corporation. Forming an LLC in Louisiana is easy, fast, and affordable.
| Louisiana LLC Costs | |

| TotalLegal Fee | $99 |
| Louisiana Filing Fee | $250 |
| Total | $349 |
The name of the limited liability company must contain the words “limited liability company” or the abbreviation “L.L.C.,” or “LLC”. The name of a city, borough, or village may be used in a limited liability company name; however, the name may not contain the word “city,” “borough,” or “village” or otherwise imply that the company is a municipality.
You will need to provide the name of your LLC, the Registered Agent’s name and physical address, and the name of the organizer (the person forming the LLC).
Processing time can vary, but Louisiana filings typically take Immediate Approval. When approved, TotalLegal will upload your Articles of Organization to your account, and send you an email letting you know you are approved to do business in Louisiana.
It’s not hard at all. It's not hard at all. Each Louisiana LLC is required to file an annual registration every year. Annual registrations must be completed between January 1 and April 1 of each year. The annual registration fee is $50. The annual registration and the fee can be completed and paid easily online.
Making changes to your LLC in Louisiana is pretty inexpensive compared to other states. Most changes you need to amend your LLC and/or change your Registered Agent can be done online, most for $25.00 or less.
TotalLegal provides your LLC with a free Operating Agreement. Since your approved LLC's Articles of Organization do not list the owners (members) of the LLC, having all of this information in your Operating Agreement will make opening a bank account for your LLC in Louisiana very easy.
