An operating agreement is a legal document that outlines the ownership interests and duties of members 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.
You may be thinking, but it’s just me why do I need one of these? Even as a single member LLC, it’s important to establish rules of government for your business or else you will be subject to the default laws that govern LLCs in your state. You may also need an operating agreement for proof of ownership when opening a business bank account or purchasing real estate. Regardless of why you may need one, this single member operating agreement includes everything you and your business needs to properly establish the rules of government for your LLC.
