I’m from Louisiana and I need advice on contracts/ liability forms. If I should have commercial insurance before I even think about actually starting my business.

It would be difficult for a Louisiana attorney to advise you on that, given the basic question-answer format of this board. You should think about contacting a Louisiana attorney and setting up a consultation. The forms you mention could depend on your business. Some forms are standard templates;... View More

It would depend on the state of mind with which it's done. If it's done without deceitful intentions and as a reasonable measure to rectify an honest pricing error, it would generally be acceptable.
