Louisiana and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

  • A trade name is registered with the Louisiana Secretary of State. A trade name identifies the business itself, which is different from a DBA used by an already registered entity. La. R.S. 51:211 et seq.

Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
