LLC Operating Agreement

Forming a Limited Liability Company?

Do you need an LLC operating agreement for a new limited liability company?

While you might be tempted to skip drafting an operating agreement, you shouldn’t. The LLC’s operating agreement is important. The document describes how the owners administer the limited liability company. An operating agreement increases legal liability protection because the document further separates the identity of the limited liability company from the identities of the LLC’s owners. Finally, outside parties like your bank usually require you to provide a copy of your operating agreement before they’ll do business with you.

Sample Multiple Member (Multiple Owners)
Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement

For $14.95 you can purchase a multiple member limited liability company operating agreement.

The agreement, which you download at the time of purchase from the last page of the ordering form, is a two-page, rich-text-format file created in Microsoft Word. The short document shows you what a multiple member limited liability company operating agreement looks like.

You can even use the LLC operating agreement as a template for constructing your own personalized limited liability company operating agreements. Simply fill in the blanks and make whatever other changes you want or your attorney recommends!

Sample Single Member (One Owner) Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement

Alternatively, you can also purchase a single member LLC operating agreement for $14.95.

The single member agreement, which again you download at the time of purchase from the last page of the ordering form, is a rich-text-format file created in Microsoft Word. The short, two-page document shows you what a single-member operating agreement looks like.

As with the multiple member version of the document, you can use the limited liability company operating agreement as a template for constructing your own personalized LLC operating agreements.
