Clause list reflects standard practice across all 50 US states. State-specific language (statutory defaults that can be overridden vs cannot) is encoded in the live builder. Single-member agreements still require the document — banks require it and courts look for it in piercing-the-veil challenges.
Even though no second party exists, the agreement establishes the LLC as a separate legal person. Banks require it to open business accounts. Courts examine it to confirm the LLC was treated as separate from personal affairs (key to maintaining the liability shield). Without one, state default statutory rules apply — often not what the owner intended for succession or asset disposition.
Operating agreements should be reviewed annually and amended after major events: new member admission, ownership transfer, S-corp election, business model change. Amendments require the consent threshold specified in the existing agreement (typically majority or unanimous).
