Why you need an Operating Agreement

Most states require it. Every LLC should have one.

Protect your personal assets

Without an operating agreement, courts may treat your LLC like a sole proprietorship. That puts your personal assets at risk.

Define how your business operates

Who owns what. How decisions get made. What happens when a member leaves. Your operating agreement puts it in writing.

Open a business bank account

Most banks require a signed operating agreement before they will open a business account in your LLC's name.

Establish credibility

Investors, lenders, and partners expect an operating agreement. It signals that your business is professionally structured.

Operating Agreement Frequently Asked Questions

What is an operating agreement?

An operating agreement is a legal document that defines how your LLC is owned and operated. It covers ownership percentages, decision-making, profit distribution, and what happens when members join or leave.

Do I need one if I am the only member?

Yes. Single-member LLCs benefit from an operating agreement because it reinforces the separation between you and your business, which protects your personal assets.

Can I change my operating agreement later?

Your formation operating agreement is a snapshot of your LLC at the time you form. If your business changes - new members, ownership shifts, updated rules - you will need an updated agreement. BizUp's Protect plans include ongoing operating agreement updates.

Is the e-signature legally binding?

Yes. Signatures collected through our process are authenticated and legally binding in all 50 states. Once signed by all members, the agreement becomes a binding agreement that governs how your LLC operates.

Where is my signed agreement stored?

Your signed operating agreement is stored securely in your BizUp dashboard alongside your other business documents.

What if a member does not sign?

All members must sign for the agreement to take effect. Our system tracks signature status so you always know where things stand.
