A Network of Assistance

With access to Louisiana economic development incentives, businesses looking to open a new venture, expand or relocate to Iberia Parish are supported by a network of assistance within the Iberia Industrial Development Foundation. There is simply no way to eliminate all the risks associated with starting a business, business expansion or relocation – but you can improve your chances of success with good planning, preparation and insight. The IDF can help by using its alliances with communities, agencies and individuals that make new business happen.

Understanding the unique needs of businesses within Iberia Parish, the IDF works with owners to steer them to the proper business incentives that fits their needs the best. From Louisiana small business grants to various Louisiana Economic Development incentives, our Small Business Advisory program provides information and services needed by entrepreneurs to create and operate business enterprises in Iberia Parish. All of these services are provided free of charge and are completely confidential.

Grow in Iberia Parish

Helping owners and stakeholders develop a competitive edge, the Iberia Industrial Development Foundation links members to the tax and incentive programs that will help their companies continue to grow within Iberia Parish. Through partnerships with the Iberia Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and the Iberia Development Foundation (IDF), we bring together all the information and services needed by entrepreneurs to create and operate business enterprises in Iberia Parish.
