I ask because I know that a lot of the laws in Louisiana are different from any other state.

TIA.

I don’t know what Louisiana calls an LLC, but I do know that the uniform State codes don’t let an LLC use the letters INC (incorporated) because of their very different organization. LLCs have no stockholders–they have members, and Inc is always for a stock company with shareholders. Try googling the Louisiana State Secretary of State page, and I will bet you can find out.

NO. The LLC offers more tax advantages and liability protection than Inc.

An Oil & Gas Company changed from an Inc. to L.L.C. However, on my Quarterly Reports they still show their company name to be Inc. Can they do that?
