LLC Operating Agreement
If setting up your business as an LLC is something you're considering, then you'll require an LLC operating agreement. This agreement not only governs the operations of the LLC, but also outlines crucial details about its inner workings that must be communicated clearly to its members. By establishing important provisions in the LLC operating agreement, you can offer clear guidance on how significant matters should be handled within the LLC. This can also help to manage expectations for members, preventing unnecessary misunderstandings and disputes in the future.
Key Terms for Your LLC Operating Agreement
To fully utilize the numerous benefits that an LLC operating agreement can offer to your business, it's crucial to establish key terms. There is a wide range of terms that can be included or excluded from your LLC operating agreement, but it's essential to consider including the following important terms:
-LLC Identifying Information: This section should consist of the LLC name and the addresses of both the initial registered office and the principal business office.
-Statement of Intent: The operating agreement should state that it was created in accordance with the laws of your state, and that the LLC will come into existence after the required documents and official LLC forms have been filed with the state.
-Business Purpose: The purpose and nature of your business should be explicitly stated in the operating agreement.
-Term: The LLC may exist for a specific purpose or for a set period of time. Alternatively, it may continue until terminated pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement or state law. Regardless, the operating agreement should set out the term of the LLC.
-Admission of New Members: Members are vital to an LLC, and over time, new members may be added. The operating agreement should provide for the process of acquiring an interest in the LLC and becoming a member.
Other Terms to Address in LLC Operating Agreement
The key terms listed above are only a few of the important terms that should be included in an LLC operating agreement. Some other terms that could be helpful if included may address the distribution of profits and losses, member meetings and voting rights, management structure, members' duties, member compensation, member withdrawal, transfer of member interest, and the dissolution of the LLC.
