Louisiana Small Business Rebirth Fund

While federal recovery programs are helpful, they cannot begin to make whole the thousands of small businesses hit hard by this tragedy. The Louisiana Small Business Rebirth Fund provides a “hand up” to impacted businesses through triage loans to provide quick relief.

Small businesses are encouraged to apply for triage grants. For more information on the Louisiana Small Business Rebirth Fund, contact Elena Lacour at 225.215.6647 or [email protected].

Important Note for Building Owners

Make sure to take pictures BEFORE beginning renovations, as well as after any Sheetrock, carpet, flooring, etc has been removed. As these materials are part of the building itself, remove of these items can be taken into account during a Cost Segregation Study. For more information, please contact Kathy Ferguson at 225-932-2327.
