Louisiana’s Friendly Nature Extends to Its Businesses
For nine years in a row, Site Selection magazine has ranked Louisiana in its top 10 states for business climate. The state’s continuous success demonstrates its commitment to maintaining a business-friendly environment. Governor John Bel Edwards cites workforce, infrastructure, and collaboration as the main reasons Louisiana has remained in the top ten.
The state sponsors various assistance programs, peer round tables, and entrepreneurship programs that help business leaders develop knowledge, skills, and relationships that will support their businesses for the long term. Louisiana also provides financial incentives such as tax exemptions and grants to businesses that qualify.
The regulations in Louisiana are friendly toward businesses, according to Thumbtack, which gives the state positive scores in ease of hiring, government websites, ease of starting a business, and overall business friendliness.
