Southeast Resource Guide

Introduction

This guide has been developed to provide guidance on how to start a business in Louisiana, and, more specifically, in the Southeast Region including the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Tammany, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and St. James. The guide provides numerous business, government and technical resources that you should find come in handy when going through the process involved in getting started. It includes such resources such as zoning, permitting, financing, taxation and many others that will be at your fingertips.

We developed the guide to be easy to use. There are three main sections:

  • Local
  • State
  • Federal

Each section contains the resources needed in the Southeast region of Louisiana, as well as state and federal sources. We've also included a little bit of 'lagniappe' (in Louisiana this means a bit extra) such as links to web sites that can provide additional information.

Please use the Table of Contents on the next page to lead you in the direction you need to go. If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the LED Regional Representative in your area.


We look forward to doing business with you.
