It's not legally required, but it's a good idea. Virginia law states that, for single-member LLCs, any writing related to the LLC's affairs that is signed by the member will be considered an operating agreement, along with any verbal agreement between the member and an LLC manager.
Single-member LLCs do not need resolutions, but they can still come in handy in certain situations, like if the company must defend itself in court. Documenting changes or actions not covered in the original bylaws or articles of incorporation can help an LLC protect itself from lawsuits or judicial investigations.
Voting Resolutions: Voting resolutions are used to make important decisions in the LLC. Voting resolutions require the approval of a certain number of members for the resolution to pass. Consent Resolutions: Consent resolutions are used when all members of the LLC agree to a certain action or decision.
As a rule, a single-member LLC is considered a separate legal entity from its owner. This means that the owner's personal assets are shielded from any debts and liabilities incurred by your LLC.
Most business decisions, including day-to-day decisions, are made without resolutions or other documentation. With an SMLLC, you'd only use a resolution to document the most important business matters or actions such as: buying or selling real estate.
LLC resolutions should be signed by all members or authorized representatives of the LLC who are involved in the decision or action being documented in the resolution.
Any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members must vote on it. Typically a majority of the members is needed to pass the resolution, but each LLC may have different voting rights. Some LLCs give a different value to each member's vote based on their percentage of interest in the company.
