How do you incorporate in Louisiana?

Answer:
To incorporate in Louisiana, it is necessary

to complete both an Articles of Incorporation and a Domestic Business Corporation Initial Report form with the Commercial Division of the office of the Secretary of State in Baton Rouge. Information necessary to complete the Articles of Incorporation includes: the business entity's name, it's primary business purpose, the duration of the corporation (perpetual or otherwise), the number of shares authorized for issue and the par value of each share. It is also necessary to include the full name and address of each incorporator.

The Domestic Business Corporation Initial Report must be filed along with the Articles of Incorporation. Details necessary to complete this form include: the name of the corporation, the physical address of the registered office, the names and street addresses of all registered agents, and the names and addresses of the initial incorporators.

Both forms and a transmittal sheet may be found at http://www.sos.louisiana.gov/Portals/0/commercial/forms/399ArticlesofIncorporationLouisianaBusiness.pdf . The forms must be signed by the incorporators and witnessed by a notary public.
