Single Member LLC Agreement

The Foundation Your Solo LLC Actually Needs

You did the hard part—you filed your LLC paperwork. You're official. But here's what many solopreneurs don't realize: filing your LLC isn't the same as protecting it.

Without a written operating agreement, that "corporate veil" protecting your personal assets is thinner than you think. If you can't prove your LLC operates like a real business—not just paperwork—courts can decide it's basically just you. Your personal bank account, your home, your savings could all be at risk.

This Single Member LLC Operating Agreement is your proof that your LLC is legitimate and separate from you personally.

When You'll Need This

• Opening a business bank account (banks often require it)
• Applying for business credit or a loan
• Working with investors or partners who want to see your business is legitimate
• Proving separation between you and your business in an audit or legal challenge
  

This Isn't Just a Word Doc—It's Your LLC's Foundation

Built for solo business owners. Short-form and manager-managed—just what you need for a one-person LLC.

Prove your LLC is real. Documentation that shows banks, investors, or courts your business operates as a legitimate entity—not crossed fingers.

Strengthen your protection. You formed an LLC to protect your personal assets. This proves you treat your business like the separate entity it should be.
