New York LLC Operating Agreement Templates — Single-Member and Multi-Member, English + Spanish
Two complete operating agreements for a limited liability company organized in New York, drafted to work with the New York LLC statute, plus a plain-language Instruction Sheet for each. Instant download; fill in the yellow fields in Word.
New York requires a written operating agreement (LLC Law § 417) and newspaper publication within 120 days, and its LLC Transparency Act takes effect in 2026 — all covered in the guide.
WHAT YOU GET (every file in English and in Spanish)
Single-Member LLC Operating Agreement (member-managed): Key Terms table + 7 articles, 7 pages
Multi-Member LLC Operating Agreement (manager-managed): 5-part Key Terms table + 12 articles, 15 pages, with joinder agreement and spousal acknowledgment
Instruction Sheet for each form: field-by-field guide, the exact New York statute to type in, formation document and filing office, federal tax classification choices, after-signing checklist (EIN, state registrations, annual report), when the form is not enough
TAILORED TO NEW YORK
Both forms are the New York edition: the New York LLC statute, filing office, formation document and final-filing names are already typed in, and the clauses New York law treats differently from a generic template are adjusted. The Instruction Sheet's "Your state" section lists the statute, annual filings, publication rule, community-property status and the other New York rules that matter. Last reviewed November 2026.
WHAT THE FREE TEMPLATES LEAVE OUT
Free operating agreements from registered-agent companies are four-page skeletons. This one opens with a Key Terms table that holds every blank in one place, comes with a field-by-field Instruction Sheet, explains the tax-classification choice, and covers what the free ones skip: death or incapacity of an owner, transfers and buyouts, the manager-managed structure, and a 51-state guide. And every file comes in English and Spanish.
