Louisiana Secretary of State / Corporations Database Select Business or Individual Search.   Use last name first for individuals and for business names which consist of a person's first and last name. Last name and first name or initial will reduce scrolling (i.e., SMITH, W). Enter your search for query in box. Click Submit Query.     Results are listed 10 entries per page.     Scroll back or forward for previous or next 10 entries. A preliminary check for name availability should take into consideration the various spellings of words (i.e., Cajun vs. Kajun, K-Jun) as well as words that are spelled differently but are phonetically similar (i.e., easy, EZ, E-ZEE). Do not rely on a preliminary check. Formally reserve the name with this office, or wait for confirmation of your filing prior to obtaining stationery, business cards, phone listings, bank accounts, etc. This database is off-line from approximately 11 PM to 6:30 AM daily.
