Generally an LLC can be qualified to do business both in the states where it is formed and in other states. However, if the LLC is going to be doing substantially all of its business in California, it is probably best to form it in California too, though exceptions exist.

There would be no problem with a Louisiana LLC doing business in California or in any other state. The LLC, however, may have to register with the California Secretary of State as a foreign LLC that is doing business in California. Good luck to you.
