Getting Your House in Order, Session 1: Get Your Business Established the Right Way

When you start a new business, or if you need to restructure your business, understanding the processes and requirements of setting up your small business and effectively applying the correct information is essential to a profitable and sustainable business.  During this session, participants will learn Federal, State and Parish compliance requirements for starting a business. This session will guide participants through the processes and agency portals with “how to” steps. Topics covered include:

*Federal: Employer Identification Number, SAM Registration

*State: Registration, Name Reserved, Industry Insurance, Payroll, Louisiana Taxpayer Access Point (LaTAP)

*Parish: Assumed Name Certificate, Business Licenses, Parish Taxes, Banking Rules

*Other: NAICS Code, DUNS Number, etc.

This session can serve as a refresher course for those who may have already started or completed the steps required to establish a business. This will be a “second look” to check for any inaccuracies or missing elements. If you have not started the process, this will be a time saver for you, a way to start your business the right way!
