Michigan does not require you to submit an Operating Agreement to form your LLC. However, it is important for every LLC to have an Operating Agreement, establishing the rules and structure of the business.
If you forget to file your annual report, you'll receive a warning letter from the Secretary of State. If you still don't file, the next step is administrative dissolution. This means that your LLC is no longer recognized as a legal entity, and you lose the protections that come with being an LLC.
After an initial filing, some states—such as California, Iowa, and Indiana— require LLCs to file a report every other year. In some states, you'll file a report every two years from the year you formed your LLC.
