with the LA Secretary of State sometime in the future.
Registering a DBA Name with the Louisiana Secretary of State is NOT the same as legally Registering a Corporation or LLC with the

which must be met to keep the company in Good Standing.
Failing to keep up with those obligations can result in the administrative dissolution of your

are no tax or reporting obligation for a Registered Louisiana DBA Name.
