LLC Operating Agreement – Single Member, Any State
A complete, professionally drafted operating agreement for one owner who will run the business personally, in any U.S. state or DC. Instant download: Word (.docx) files you fill in yourself, with a plain-language Instruction Sheet that walks you through every field.
WHAT YOU GET (both English and Spanish versions of every file)
Operating Agreement (7 pages): Key Terms table (state, statute, formation document, filing office, registered agent, member, capital, tax classification) + 7 articles — the company, the member, profits and taxes, management with optional officers, changes in ownership including a community-property clause, dissolution, general
Instruction Sheet (8 pages): field-by-field guide, "Your state" section with the statute, filings and state rules, federal tax defaults (disregarded entity, 8832, 2553), after-signing checklist (EIN, publication states, annual reports, BOI rules), when the form is not enough, notes for all states
51 STATE EDITIONS INCLUDED — ALL 50 STATES + DC
Your download contains a separate edition of the form for every state and the District of Columbia, each already completed with that state's statute, filing office, formation document and final-filing names, and with the clauses that state's law treats differently adjusted: the operating-agreement definition (Texas "company agreement", Delaware "LLC agreement"), member non-compete rules (void in California, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Montana), the spousal acknowledgment in the nine community-property states, publication requirements (New York, Arizona, Nebraska) and the annual filings. Open the folder for your state; the Instruction Sheet's "Your state" section lists what was pre-filled. A state-neutral edition is included for any other case. 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.

SUPPORT
This is a no-support product by design: the Instruction Sheet answers the questions buyers ask. It includes a section titled "When this form is not enough" that tells you plainly when to see an attorney instead.
