Have questions about filling out an Operating Agreement as a single member LLC owner? We walk you through each step.

Filling Out Your Operating Agreement

Let’s assume that Admir Clytia is starting a single member LLC in the US. Below we’ll walk you through what your Operating Agreement documents mean and how to fill them out using Admir’s information as an example.

Name of Person: Admir Clytia

LLC Name Chosen – Fire Bolt LLC

State – Wyoming

You will be able to see the name of your LLC at the top of your Operating Agreement.

You have to mention your starting capital amount/initial contribution in Article II – 2.1. The amount you mention here has to flow from Exhibit 1.

You can make any changes to the text in this Operating Agreement. This is because your Operating Agreement is an internal document! You can make any modifications/changes and sign it whenever you’re ready.

Going forward, you can update and make changes to the document (including ownership percentages, adding names to the agreement, and other changes) at any time. In fact, you’re the only one who can make these changes! The document can then be saved for your personal records in the Google Drive folder we provide, and never needs to be re-submitted to the state.
