Grow St. Bernard Workshop: Starting a Business

Starting a business takes more than a great idea. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the key steps involved in launching a business, including forming an LLC, registering with the Louisiana Secretary of State, obtaining occupational licenses, setting up business banking, and understanding different business structure considerations. The session will also highlight the importance of building a strong network of professionals and partners, including bankers, CPAs, business attorneys, insurance providers, and other trusted advisors who support long-term business success. Participants will leave with practical resources, helpful guidance, and a clearer understanding of the process of starting and growing a business.
This workshop is intended for educational purposes only and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
