The agreement uses the customer-selected formation state and records the chosen governance terms. State filing, tax election, licensing, securities, professional-entity, and other mandatory requirements remain separate. The workflow does not restrict purchase based on state or require outside approval.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the $5.99 LLC form?
The basic form uses fixed ownership and standard governance. This version customizes management authority, voting thresholds, economics, future funding, member loans, transfers, admission, withdrawal, buyouts, deadlock, disputes, and dissolution.
Does this include ownership and contribution schedules?
Yes. Schedule A coordinates each member's ownership, voting, notice, and signature information. Schedule B records cash, property, service, and outstanding contribution commitments.
Can it create a manager-managed agreement?
Yes. The manager branch names the managers, defines ordinary authority and limits, preserves major decisions for members, and records appointment, removal, replacement, and resignation procedures.
Does it include buyout terms?
It can include a basic buyout process with selected triggers, an objective valuation method, and payment terms. Advanced valuation modeling, insurance planning, multiple classes, and position-specific negotiation remain higher-tier work.
What do the advanced LLC products add?
Tier 3 adds neutral issue discovery, multiple classes, vesting, preferred economics, calculations, a consent, schedules, and a consistency report. Tier 4 adds participant-position branches and an eight-document governance package.
