incfile operating agreement
essentially, the operating agreement is a contract among the llc’s members that stipulates its membership, management, operation, and the distribution of the company’s income. these agreements also spells out what will happen to the llc if someone leaves or if a new member wants to come on board. even though having an llc operating agreement isn’t necessarily required by most states, having one anyway is a prudent business practice. california, new york, missouri, maine and delaware all require the members of an llc to have an operating agreement at varying levels of complexity and precision. for instance, new york requires llcs to have a written operating agreement with provisions relating to its business while delaware only requires that at some time before, during, or after the filing of llc formation paperwork a written, oral or even implied operating agreement is made — in other words, the law is lenient.
