Why you need to update your operating agreement

An outdated operating agreement is a liability, not a formality.

A new member joined

Adding a member without updating your operating agreement leaves the arrangement undocumented. If there is ever a dispute, an outdated agreement works against you.

A member left

When someone exits the LLC, the operating agreement needs to reflect the new ownership structure. An unsigned or inaccurate agreement creates legal exposure.

Ownership percentages changed

Changes to profit splits or ownership stakes need to be documented in your operating agreement to be legally enforceable.

Management structure changed

If how your LLC is managed or who manages it has changed, your operating agreement should match. Mismatches create risk.

Your agreement was never signed

An operating agreement that was never signed by all members is not enforceable. BizUp generates a new one and gets it signed.

Your agreement is out of date

An agreement drafted at formation may no longer reflect how your business actually operates. Keeping it current protects every member.

What's included

A revised agreement, generated and signed. All from your dashboard.

Updated agreement generation

We generate a revised operating agreement based on your current LLC details and the changes you specify. Customized to your business, not a generic template.

E-signature for all members

The updated agreement is sent to every member for e-signature. No printing. No scanning. No chasing down signatures.

Stored in your dashboard

Your signed operating agreement is stored securely in your BizUp dashboard. Always accessible when you or your members need it.

Drafted for your state

Your agreement is drafted to comply with your formation state’s requirements. What is required varies by state and we handle that for you.

Operating Agreement Updates Frequently Asked Questions

What is an operating agreement?

A legal document that defines how your LLC is structured and operated. It covers ownership percentages, management responsibilities, profit distribution, and what happens when members join or leave.

Do I need to update my operating agreement every time something changes?

Not for every change, but for significant ones: new or departing members, ownership percentage changes, management structure changes, and major updates to how your business operates. Ask Astra if you are not sure whether your change requires an update.

What if my operating agreement was never signed?

An unsigned operating agreement is not enforceable. BizUp generates a new one and sends it to every member for e-signature so your agreement is complete and on file.

What if I formed my LLC elsewhere and already have an operating agreement?

BizUp can generate a revised agreement based on your current details. You do not need to have formed with BizUp to get an operating agreement update.

How long does it take?

We generate the updated agreement quickly. From there, timing depends on how fast your members sign. The e-signature process is straightforward and takes most members just a few minutes.

Is an operating agreement update included in my plan?

Operating agreement updates are included with Protect Plus. Request an update from your dashboard any time your LLC changes.

Is this the same as a business amendment?

No. A business amendment is a filing with your state that changes your LLC’s public record - its name, address, or registered agent. An operating agreement is an internal document between the members. Changing one does not change the other, and some situations need both. See business amendment if your state record needs updating.

Do I have to file my updated operating agreement with the state?

No. An operating agreement is not a state filing. It is an internal governing document that you keep with your business records and produce when a bank, investor, or court asks for it.

Your LLC changed. Your operating agreement should too.

Protect Plus includes operating agreement updates. Tell us what changed and we generate a revised agreement and get it signed by every member.
