About Louisiana Certificate of Authority
Louisiana Certificate of Authority drafts and submits the application that gives an out-of-state entity the right to transact business in Louisiana.
A site about one document
Louisiana grants a single kind of paper to out-of-state companies. The pages explain what it is, who needs it, how each entity reaches it and what ends it.
Where we stop
Deciding whether work in the state is doing business, advising on Louisiana tax and reviewing earlier months are matters for a Louisiana lawyer or accountant. We prepare and file the Louisiana application.
