Who this is for

LLC owners with non-standard structures: series LLCs with multiple protected cells, multi-member LLCs with different membership classes, family LLCs with generation-skipping provisions, holding companies with subsidiary distribution waterfalls, and any LLC where the standard formation-bundle template does not capture the actual governance reality.

How it works

  1. 1
    WhatsApp intake (10 min)
    Describe the LLC structure, member composition, voting rules, distribution mechanics, and any asset-protection priorities. We may follow up with clarifying questions on bespoke cases.
  2. 2
    Draft prepared
    Anonymousllc.co attorney and compliance team draft the operating agreement with the structure you described, state-specific statutory citations, and any requested asset-protection language.
  3. 3
    Review + revision (one round included)
    Draft sent for your review. One round of revisions included in the $199. Additional revisions billed at $50/revision after that.
  4. 4
    Final delivery
    Final operating agreement delivered via secure portal. Sign electronically or print and execute physically. Copy retained in your secure document vault for future bank or court reference.
Important: The drafting service produces a private contract among members; it does not constitute legal advice on your specific situation. For litigation, tax-strategy, or estate-planning use cases beyond standard LLC governance, retain independent counsel.

An operating agreement is the constitution of an LLC. It governs every internal relationship: between member and member, between member and the LLC, between member and manager, between the LLC and the outside world. Most US states don't legally require an operating agreement - only California, New York, Maine, Missouri, and Delaware impose statutory requirements (Delaware allows oral agreements, others require written). But every well-run LLC has one. Every bank requires one to open an account. Every court reviewing an LLC dispute looks for one. Every counterparty doing diligence on the LLC asks to see one. And every formation bundle on this site includes a generic OA at formation - adequate for simple structures, inadequate for anything beyond.

The $199 custom-drafting service exists for buyers whose governance reality doesn't fit a generic template. The most common drivers: (1) multi-member LLCs where members contribute different amounts of capital, have different voting rights, or expect different distribution priorities - generic OAs treat all members equally, which is exactly wrong for unequal partnerships; (2) series LLCs where the umbrella entity contains protected sub-cells (one per real estate property, one per crypto wallet, one per business unit) - series structure requires bespoke master OA plus per-series designation documents; (3) asset-protection-focused LLCs where Wyoming or Nevada charging order language needs explicit reinforcement beyond statutory baselines; (4) family LLCs with multi-generational planning, buy-sell provisions, and generation-skipping language; (5) holding-company structures with subsidiary distribution waterfalls; (6) LLCs anticipating VC investment or future C-corp conversion, where the OA needs convertibility provisions; (7) multi-class membership with preferred returns or carried interest treatment. None of these fit a template; all of them benefit from custom drafting.

Our drafting is done by US business attorneys working alongside our compliance team. The attorney handles state-specific statutory citation, the legally-binding language structure, and the asset-protection language optimization. The compliance team handles the use-case fit (does this OA actually reflect the structure the buyer described?), the cross-reference to the formation documents, and the practical clarity (a 50-page OA full of legal jargon doesn't help if the members can't understand their own contract). The end product is 25-50 pages for multi-member structures, 8-15 pages for single-member with asset-protection language. Delivered via secure portal for electronic signature. One revision round included. Additional revisions $50 each. Future amendments quoted separately at $99-$199 per amendment.

Detailed process timeline

Day-by-day breakdown so you know what's happening at every stage.

  1. Day 0
    WhatsApp intake (10-15 min)
    Describe the LLC structure: member composition, voting rules, distribution mechanics, asset-protection priorities, anticipated future events (member admission, conversion, dissolution). $199 invoice. Complex structures may have follow-up clarifying questions.
  2. Day 1
    Structure review + clarifying questions
    Our compliance team reviews your intake for completeness. If anything is ambiguous (common in multi-member structures), we WhatsApp follow-up questions. Typical clarifications: voting thresholds for specific decisions, deadlock resolution mechanics, buy-out valuation method.
  3. Day 1-2
    Draft preparation (standard SMLLC or MMLLC)
    Attorney drafts the OA with state-specific statutory citations, asset-protection language (if applicable), and the structural provisions you described. Standard turnaround for routine structures.
  4. Day 3-5
    Draft preparation (complex multi-member, series, holding)
    Complex structures take longer - series LLCs need master OA + per-series designation, holding structures need parent-subsidiary distribution language, family LLCs need generation-skipping provisions.
  5. Day 5-7
    Draft delivered for review
    First draft delivered via secure portal. Includes a plain-English summary of key provisions so non-lawyer members can understand what they're signing. 7-day review window.
  6. Day 7-10
    Revision round (one included)
    You send back markup or comments. We make changes. Additional revision rounds beyond the first are billed at $50/round.
  7. Day 10-12
    Final OA delivered for signature
    Clean final document delivered via secure portal. Electronic signature or print-and-sign - your preference. Each member signs.
  8. Future
    Amendments as needed
    Operating agreements get amended over time as the business evolves. New members admitted, distribution rules changed, voting thresholds adjusted. Each amendment is a $99-$199 standalone engagement.

What's NOT included

We try to be explicit about scope so there are no surprises. Anything below is either outside this SKU, sold separately, or handled by you directly.

  • ×Formation of the LLC itself (use /services/anonymous-llc-formation/ or state-specific service)
  • ×State-required entity filings (annual reports, franchise tax) - the OA doesn't replace these
  • ×Tax preparation, S-corp election, partnership returns - separate accounting
  • ×Securities-law compliance for private offerings (multi-member LLCs raising capital may need separate securities counsel)
  • ×Litigation, dispute resolution, or mediation services
  • ×Estate planning beyond standard buy-sell and generation-skipping provisions
  • ×International tax treaty planning
  • ×Multiple amendments (each amendment is a separate $99-$199 engagement)
  • ×Legal advice on whether the OA structure achieves your business goals - we draft what you describe
  • ×Notarization or witness services (most OAs don't legally require notarization)

Sample intake - what we'll ask on WhatsApp

The intake is short. Five minutes, maybe ten. Below is exactly what we'll ask and why we need each piece.

  1. 1. LLC name, formation state, formation date, EIN (if any)
    Why we ask: OA references the LLC's legal identity. State drives statutory citation choices.
  2. 2. Member composition: list all members with name + ownership %
    Why we ask: Drives every other provision. Equal vs unequal members → different voting and distribution language.
  3. 3. Capital contributions: who contributed what (cash, property, services, IP)?
    Why we ask: Affects priority distribution rules and clarifies initial capital accounts.
  4. 4. Decision-making: who decides on what, with what voting threshold?
    Why we ask: Default majority-rule is rarely what multi-member LLCs actually want. We capture specific decision thresholds for things like new debt, asset sale, member admission, dissolution.
  5. 5. Distribution mechanics: pro-rata, priority returns, carried interest, waterfall?
    Why we ask: Most-complex section in multi-member OAs. Critical to capture exact mechanics.
  6. 6. Transfer restrictions: can members sell their interest? To whom?
    Why we ask: Default OA has minimal transfer restriction; serious LLCs want explicit restrictions to control member identity.
  7. 7. Buy-sell trigger events: death, disability, divorce, deadlock?
    Why we ask: Multi-member LLCs benefit from clear buy-out mechanics on trigger events. Single-member LLCs need succession planning.
  8. 8. Asset-protection priorities: Wyoming/Nevada charging order, discretionary distributions, anti-assignment?
    Why we ask: If asset protection is a primary driver, we include the full reinforcement language. Otherwise we skip it to keep the OA simpler.

Refund policy specifics

Before draft started: 100% refund minus Stripe processing fees. Cancel within 48 hours of intake before our attorney begins drafting.

After first draft delivered: No refund - the drafting work has been done. If the draft doesn't fit your needs, we use the one included revision round to make it fit. Additional revisions $50 each.

If the draft is materially deficient (typos, missing provisions you requested, statutory citation errors): We fix at no charge. The attorney warrants the substantive quality of the draft.

If you and your members disagree about structure after drafting:That's a member-relationship issue, not a drafting issue. We can re-draft based on a new agreed structure for $99 (less than full new engagement).

Common buyer questions, answered inline

Quick answers to the things people ask in WhatsApp before they invoice.

Can I use the OA with an LLC that's already formed?
Yes. The OA is internal - it doesn't need state approval and can be added or replaced at any time. Just have all members sign the new version, and it supersedes any prior OA.
Does the OA need to be notarized?
No. Operating agreements are private contracts; notarization is not legally required in any US state. Some buyers notarize for additional evidence of signing date - we can include notarization-ready signature pages if you request.
What if one of my members later refuses to sign the OA?
If you have multiple members and one refuses, you have a member-relationship problem, not a drafting problem. We can mediate by sending a clearly-explained version highlighting member-protective provisions, but if a member fundamentally disagrees with the structure, that's a conversation between members, not something drafting solves.
Can the OA include arbitration clauses?
Yes. We can include binding arbitration clauses, mediation-then-arbitration tiered approaches, choice of arbitration forum (AAA, JAMS), and forum-selection provisions. Recommended for multi-member LLCs to avoid litigation costs.

Operating Agreement Drafting FAQ

An operating agreement is the internal governance document of an LLC. It specifies who the members are, how decisions are made, how profits are distributed, how new members can be admitted, and how the LLC can be dissolved. Most states do not require an operating agreement legally, but every bank requires one to open an account, every court will look for one in an LLC dispute, and every responsible LLC operator has one.
Yes - formation packages include a standard operating agreement (single-member or multi-member generic). This standalone service is for owners who need something more specific: series LLC structures, multi-class membership, advanced asset-protection language, holding-company waterfalls, family-LLC governance, or buy-sell provisions.
Template OA generators produce a 6-page standard form. The Anonymousllc.co drafting service is delivered by a US business attorney working with our compliance team, includes state-specific statutory citations (Wyoming Statute § 17-29, Delaware 6 Del. C. § 18-101, etc.), and is reviewed for the specific use case (asset protection, holding company, multi-member voting, series sub-cell governance, etc.).
Yes. Charging order protection is statutory in Wyoming and Nevada; Delaware is weaker. The operating agreement reinforces charging order language, adds discretionary distributions to weaken creditor claims, and clarifies that membership interests are personal property (not real property) for jurisdictional purposes. Standard in our drafting service for Wyoming and Nevada LLCs.
Standard operating agreement: 1-2 business days. Complex multi-member or series LLC structures: 3-5 business days. Final document delivered via secure portal for signature.
Initial draft is final document. Future amendments to the operating agreement (admitting new members, changing distribution rules, etc.) are quoted separately when needed - $99-$199 per amendment.
Structurally significant. Single-member OAs focus on: founder's identity as sole member, the LLC's authority to act through the member, charging order protection (especially in Wyoming where § 17-29-503(a) is statutorily strongest), succession planning if the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated, and clarification that the LLC is intended as a separate legal entity (not an alter ego). Multi-member OAs add: voting thresholds (majority vs unanimous for different decisions), distribution waterfalls (pro-rata vs priority returns), capital contribution requirements, transfer restrictions, buy-sell triggers, member admission/withdrawal procedures, deadlock resolution, and tax classification election (partnership vs S-corp vs C-corp). A good single-member OA is 6-12 pages; a good multi-member OA is 25-50 pages.
Wyoming and Nevada both have statutory charging order protection (Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-503(a), NRS § 86.501). The operating agreement reinforces this with: (1) explicit reference to the statutory charging order remedy as exclusive, (2) discretionary distribution provisions (the manager has authority to withhold distributions to weaken creditor claims via the 'poison pill' doctrine), (3) anti-assignment provisions limiting transfer of economic interest without consent, (4) clear separation of economic interest from voting/management rights, (5) treatment of membership interests as personal property (not real property), which prevents some jurisdictional creditor remedies. Standard inclusions in our drafting service for Wyoming and Nevada LLCs.
A series LLC is an umbrella entity containing multiple internal 'protected series' (sub-cells), each treated as a separate legal entity for liability purposes. Available in Delaware (originated the structure under 6 Del. C. § 18-215), Wyoming (Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-907), Nevada (NRS § 86.296), and several other states. Series LLC drafting requires: (1) master operating agreement governing the umbrella, (2) separate 'series operating agreement' or designation document for each protected series, (3) careful asset segregation language (each series's assets isolated from the others), (4) separate banking arrangements (each series ideally has its own bank account), (5) separate tax treatment (each series may be its own tax entity). Common use case: real estate portfolios where each property sits in its own series. Pricing: $199 master OA + $99 per additional series designation.
Template suffices for: simple single-member LLCs with no member-disputes risk, straightforward multi-member LLCs with equal partners and no complex distributions, LLCs that exist primarily for liability shield (banking, contracts) rather than complex governance. Custom drafting (this service) is warranted for: multi-member with unequal contributions or voting, series LLCs with sub-cell governance, family LLCs with generation-skipping or buy-sell provisions, asset-protection-focused structures with specific charging order reinforcement, holding-company structures with subsidiary distribution waterfalls, LLCs anticipating institutional investment or future C-corp conversion, multi-class membership structures with preferred returns. Full attorney engagement (separate counsel, not this service) is warranted for: ongoing litigation, complex estate planning, contentious member disputes, $10M+ entity value, or anything where the operating agreement will be tested in court.
No. The operating agreement is a private contract among members - it's not filed with any state. Some states (California, Missouri) require LLCs to have an operating agreement, but the document is internal. Banks ask for it at account opening. Courts ask for it in disputes. Members keep signed copies. The state never sees it. This is one reason anonymous LLCs work - the public state record shows minimal info (just the registered agent), while the substantive governance happens in the private operating agreement.
