LLCs are required by law to have operating agreements. However, other entities, such as S-corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships, can also benefit from having operating agreements.
If you're forming—or have formed—an LLC in California, New York, Missouri, Maine, or Delaware, state laws require you to create an LLC Operating Agreement. But no matter what state you're in, it's always a good idea to create a formal agreement between LLC members.
Unlike a partnership, which can take advantage of a Sec. 754 election to help a successor partner equalize her inside and outside basis, an S corporation has no similar option.
The key components of an operating agreement include the following: Ownership and Membership Interests. Management Structure. Profit and Loss Distribution. Voting Rights and Procedures. Roles and Responsibilities. Capital Contributions. Dissolution and Exit Strategy.
An S Corporation operating agreement is a critical document outlining the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of shareholders, directors, and officers.
Bylaws focus on the roles and responsibilities of the board of directors, officers, and shareholders. Operating Agreements focus on the roles and responsibilities of members and managers.
The first step in creating your operating agreement involves determining whether you'll draft it yourself or hire an attorney to do it for you. If you have a single-member LLC, you may decide to create it on your own using a template.
