Your questions about Louisiana registered agents
Do I really need a registered agent for a Louisiana LLC?
You do. Louisiana won't accept an LLC without a registered agent who has a street address in the state, and that name goes on the public record.
What do Louisiana registered agents usually cost per year?
Plan on $99 to $149 a year, and each service keeps its price when you renew.
Can I be my own registered agent?
Sometimes, if you meet the state's rules. A Louisiana citizen who lives in the state, a law partnership or professional law corporation, or a corporation or LLC formed in Louisiana or authorized there. A new agent signs a notarized acceptance.
When do I have to send in the Louisiana annual report?
Mark on or before the anniversary date of organization on your calendar. The state's charge is $35.
