An LLC is a business form that provides liability protection for owners while allowing flexible management and pass-through taxation. In California, formation requires filing Articles of Organization and adopting an operating agreement, with ongoing requirements to keep the entity in good standing.
An Operating Agreement describes ownership and governance and helps establish who can make decisions and how profits are shared. Even if not legally required, having an operating agreement reduces disputes and clarifies procedures for new members or changes in ownership.
