Bizer in Louisiana: help that does the work, not just points at it

Bizer · 2026-08-26

Bizer is a business platform built around an agent called Miles, and these guides are its Louisiana front door, for anyone in any of the state's 64 parishes.

The problem this is aimed at

Louisiana is not short of small business help. There are Small Business Development Centers, regional economic development groups, chambers, and a genuinely useful state resource network. Much of it is free and staffed by people who know their parish cold. If you can get an appointment with one of them, take it.

But notice what nearly all of that help has in common: it ends with a referral. You describe your situation, and the outcome is a list of organizations to call, a workshop to attend, or a meeting in nine days. That is real help. It is also help that only exists between nine and five, and only if you can get on the calendar.

Meanwhile the actual questions arrive at inconvenient hours. Do I need an LLC or can I stay a sole proprietor. Which parish collects my sales tax and at what rate. Is there a grant for this. What do I even file first. Those questions do not wait for Tuesday.

What Bizer is

You connect the tools your business already uses, and Miles can then work inside them on your behalf. Not a chatbot that produces advice you then go execute. Something closer to a competent employee who has read everything about your business and will draft the thing, file the thing, and follow up on the thing.

Talking to Miles is free on every plan, including no plan at all. Not a trial, not a capped number of messages. What you pay for is work: the research, the tools, the background jobs, the tasks he carries out for you. Current prices live on the pricing page rather than here, so a price change never leaves this article quietly wrong.

So the honest version of "try it" is: ask him something hard about your business and see whether the answer is any good. That costs nothing and you will know quickly.

What Miles can actually do today

Every young company is tempted to describe the roadmap as though it already shipped. Here is the shipped list, and only the shipped list.

Find grants you match. Miles keeps a live cache of federal assistance programs, ranks them against your industry, shows you where to apply, then drafts the application narrative from what he knows about your business, for you to edit and submit.
Tell you which lenders you are likely to match, and why. Scored from real numbers: revenue, debt service, history, documentation. It is an estimate to aim you at the right door, never a credit decision and never a promise of approval.
Handle SAM.gov registration. The federal registration most small businesses stumble on, and the prerequisite for any government contracting.
Get quotes and invoices out the same day. Estimates, invoices, recurring billing, reminders and PDFs, drafted by Miles and sent when you approve them.
Score your business for free, without signing up. Miles researches your public footprint and tells you what it shows a customer, a lender, or Google.
Draft your marketing content. Posts, ideas and page copy, drafted for your review.

You will notice how often the word approve appears. That is deliberate. Miles drafts and proposes, and you press the button. For anything that leaves your business and reaches a customer, that is a feature rather than a limitation.

What these guides are, and are not yet

Being straight about this matters more than looking finished.

Doing business in Louisiana covers the registration sequence, how local sales tax actually works, and where the state money is. Vermilion Parish is built out properly: every jurisdiction's rate, the towns that levy their own occupational license, and how the parish compares with the ones around it.

The other sixty three parishes are not there yet. They are being written parish by parish, and saying otherwise would waste your time.
