An operating agreement is a legal document that outlines the ownership interests and duties of members (owners) of limited liability companies (LLCs) and cannot be used in connection with any other type of business entity. It also defines the company’s management structure, describes how the company’s profits/losses are allocated and distributed, and sets out the terms of engagement for the company’s members.
If you plan on forming an LLC with partners, then you NEED an operating agreement. Think of it as something like an LLC Pre-Nup…you hope you never need to use it, but will be so glad you have it if you do.
