LLC Operating agreements

An LLC Operating Agreement establishes the percentage ownership of the Company, allocation of profits and losses, Owner & Member rights and responsibilities, and how matters will be decided when a member leaves. It also governs the internal operations of the business. Once an operating agreement is signed, it becomes a binding contract.
