To split ownership interest in an LLC, you will need to draft an LLC operating agreement. This operating agreement document will outline how profits and losses are divided among members and other controlling provisions such as voting rights and management structure.
Limited liability companies do not operate with or sell shares. Instead, members will hold a percentage of interest in the business depending on their agreement. Sole owners or single-members control 100% equity or company interest.
Once you (and the other LLC Members, if applicable) sign the Operating Agreement, then it becomes a legal document. Can I write my own Operating Agreement? Yes, but we recommend using an Operating Agreement template. An Operating Agreement is a legal document.

There are four common methods of granting equity or equity incentives in an LLC: (1) outright membership interest or membership unit grants, (2) LLC incentive units (aka “profit interests”), (3) a phantom or parallel unit plan (aka. synthetic equity), and (4) options to acquire LLC capital interests.
No matter what type of business you run—a manufacturing company, a brewery, a software firm—you can offer your employees equity and still take advantage of all the benefits of an LLC. In fact, equity incentive plans for LLCs are becoming more common, and there are several types of equity plans LLCs can choose from.
