WHEN
SHOULD I GET AN OPERATING AGREEMENT?
You may get an Operating Agreement either before or after prior
to forming your LLC. In general, one is not required to have
formed an LLC prior to getting an Operating Agreement. In fact,
most attorneys tend to advise their clients to discuss the business
terms of their venture before forming their entity.
It is generally considered far more efficient to have the owners
agree on the business terms of their deal and draft and Operating
Agreement prior to spending money on forming an LLC. In many
cases, people have spent hundreds of dollars forming an LLC
only to run into problems with their business partners over
the terms of the deal. In those cases, not only have the owners
spent money on forming an LLC which will not be operating a
business, but now more money has to be spent on dissolving the
entity.
Although, the LLC Operating Agreement does not have to be filed
with any state agency, it is extremely important that you create
an Operating Agreement for your LLC entity. Without the formality
of an agreement, the basic operation of the LLC would be governed
by state law, which may not be advantageous to the LLC, it members,
or the business it conducts. In fact, some states like New York
require an LLC to have an Operating Agreement.
