FAQ

Why do I need an Operating Agreement for my LLC?

An Operating Agreement is the most important document for your LLC, as it provides clarity on rules, roles, decision-making processes, and profit distribution. It’s essential for protecting the member(s)' personal assets and maintaining your LLC’s limited liability status.

What is included in the Operating Agreement you provide?

Our Operating Agreements include:

  • Ownership structure and percentages
  • Voting rights and decision-making processes
  • Profit and loss distribution
  • Management structure (member-managed or manager-managed)
  • Procedures for adding or removing members
  • Dissolution and exit strategies

Do you offer Operating Agreements for Single-Member and Multi-Member LLCs?

Yes, we provide Operating Agreements for both single-member and multi-member LLCs. Although all of our Operating Agreements allow for increases and decreases in the number of members, it is best to start with one that represents your current number of members.

Can you help amend an existing agreement?

Although our legal templates are in Word and thus fully-customizable, amendments can be made by you or your legal advisors.

We do not provide legal advice in or with any of our legal templates. If you need legal advice to confirm the agreement's compliance in your state, we suggest you hire a business attorney licensed in your state.

If you are located in California and want to discuss contract amendments or legal advice specific to you, feel free to reach out to our CEO Chris Jackson at Chris Jackson Law Website

Why do you prefer Manager-Managed LLCs?

Member-Managed LLCs generally require the participation of all members in all decisions. This can be cumbersome.

Just like a corporation does not want to be managed by its shareholders, we believe members should appoint managers to run the day to day business.
