FORMATION
Your Operating Agreement, Done
Spell out who owns what and keep your personal assets protected, the document banks, partners, and courts expect you to have.
What it solves
Without an operating agreement, ownership, decisions, and what happens if someone leaves stay unwritten until there is a dispute. This guide walks you through why even solo owners need one, filling the template, deciding profit splits and roles, signing, and storing it with your formation documents. It is general information, so confirm with a licensed professional.
What this is worth: A lawyer charges $1,000 to $1,500 to form an LLC. You will do it right yourself.

The file suggests an attorney for complex ownership, such as partners or investors. This is general information, not legal advice, so confirm with a licensed professional and your state before you rely on it.
