LLC Operating Agreement

Starting an LLC, or running one without a written agreement? Tell AI Lawyer who the members are, what each one put in and how the company is run, and it writes an operating agreement for your state — so your own rules apply instead of the state’s default ones. Your agreement records the company’s name, purpose and registered office, each member’s contribution and ownership share, how profits and losses are split, whether members or managers run the company and how votes are counted, how new members join and existing ones leave, buy-out terms, the books and the tax treatment, and how the LLC is wound up. Also called an LLC agreement, company agreement, member agreement or operating contract.

Pick your state, answer a few questions, and your operating agreement is ready to download, email or print.

What goes into your operating agreement

An LLC operating agreement is the contract between the members of a limited liability company — and, for a one-owner LLC, the owner’s own written rulebook. Most states do not require one, but without it the state’s default LLC statute decides how profits are split, how votes are counted and what happens when a member leaves. A signed agreement also helps show that the company is separate from its owners, which is what keeps your personal assets out of its debts.

Every operating agreement AI Lawyer writes covers:

The company’s name, purpose, registered office and formation date
The members, their capital contributions and ownership percentages
How profits, losses and distributions are shared
Member-managed or manager-managed, voting rights and what needs a unanimous vote
Adding members, transfers of interest, buy-outs and rights of first refusal
Books and records, bank accounts, tax classification and the fiscal year
Meetings, amendments, indemnification and how the LLC is dissolved

One owner or several, a brand-new company or one that has run for years on a handshake — the questions adapt to your situation, and the agreement comes out written for your state.
