LLC Operating Agreement

LLC Operating Agreement

Jurisdiction: 

Area of Law: 

It's a pretty basic procedure to set up an LLC in Illinois.  All you have to do is fill out a one page form and send it in along with the fee, and then wait for 2 months.  Once you've formed the LLC, you will need to adopt an operating agreement.  An operating agreement for an LLC is similar to the bylaws for a corporation.  However, the LLC operating agreement is very flexible, and there are many terms that can be added to make the operating agreement unique.  The general idea is that the operating agreement serves as a "contract" between members, rather than as a corporate governance document. The LLC operating agreement will bind the members who execute it like any other contract.
