In California, operating agreements can be customized to fit your LLC’s structure and future plans.
This document records how decisions are made, who runs the company, and how members’ interests are managed and transferred.
Key components include ownership percentages, voting rights, management structure, capital calls, distributions, transfer restrictions, and procedures for amendments, meetings, and dispute resolution.
