Your LLC needs an operating agreement. Here is the template..

Without an operating agreement
No agreement, no protection.
Most states do not require an operating agreement to form an LLC, so most owners skip the step. Without one, your LLC defaults to state statute — which rarely matches how you actually run the business. If a dispute arises, a lawsuit hits, or a member exits, you are operating on rules you never agreed to.
An operating agreement puts your terms in writing: who owns what, who decides what, how profits divide, what happens at exit. After the articles of organization, it is the single most important document your LLC can have.

Have a licensed attorney review (recommended)
Filings Bureau is not a law firm. We recommend an attorney in your state review the completed agreement before execution.
Is this a fill-in-the-blank template?
It is more than that. The template includes full provisions with guidance notes explaining what each section means and how to customize it. It is not a done-for-you document, however. If you want a customized operating agreement prepared from your specific business details, the LLC Launch Bundle ($597) includes a done-for-you OA.
Does this cover my state?
The template is designed to be comprehensive across all fifty states. Guidance notes flag provisions that vary by state. We recommend having the completed document reviewed by a licensed attorney in your state.
Is this legal advice?
No. Filings Bureau is a document preparation service and is not a law firm. This template is an educational resource and starting point, not a substitute for legal counsel.
