Amending your LLC's Operating Agreement is a pretty straightforward task: members need to approve the change and then you need to document it. Amendments don't need to be filed with the state; you just need to keep the amendment with your Operating Agreement as an internal document.

Most of the time the members of an LLC will own a percentage relative to the contribution they made to the formation of the business, such as cash investments, but you can divide up ownership however you like.
Unlike the articles of organization, an operating agreement generally is not required in order to form an SMLLC, nor is it filed with the state. Instead, an operating agreement is optionalthough recommended. If you choose to have one, you'll keep it on file at your business's official location.
In most states, all member should and must sign the operating agreement.
