The Louisiana Secretary of State website provides a simple way to look up business information. Here's a step-by-step guide on using their search tool:
1. Go to the Louisiana Business Filings search page.
2. Enter your search term, which can be the company name, identifying number, or Registered Agent.
3. Complete the captcha by selecting the required pictures.
4. Click the search button.
5. On the results page, you'll see a list of businesses sorted alphabetically by name. The information includes the company name (in bold for active companies), business type (legal structure), and city of location.
6. Click the 'Details' button for any record to view more information, such as names and contact details for Officers and Registered Agents, initial filing date, and last filing date.
7. On the details page, you have the option to order certified copies of business documents ($15-$25) or subscribe to email notifications for updates to the record (free).
While Louisiana offers this business information at no cost, the search interface has limitations:
- No search filters, so refining results can be cumbersome.
- Maximum of 250 results per search.
- No ability to sort results by fields other than name.
- Inconsistent data format compared to other states.

For occasional searches, this tool works well. However, if you need to search hundreds or thousands of records per month across multiple states, using the Secretary of State site directly becomes time-consuming and complex. In such cases, consider using specialized business information services that streamline the process.
