Provide the purpose of the LLC below.*
Do you wish to adopt an assumed name for the LLC?
- Yes
An assumed name is any name other than the legal name of the business on record with Secretary of State that has been adopted by the corporation/LLC. Most businesses find it desirable to identify the company with an assumed name since use of the full legal name requires that company abbreviations (such as inc., co., corp. Ltd., LLC, etc. be used on all company letterhead and other marketing materials. There is an extra filing fee required to be paid in order to adopt an assumed name.
Please provide the assumed name the corporation should adopt if you answered yes above
Will the LLC be managed by the members or by a manager(s)?*
- Members
- Manager(s)
The members can manage the business and affairs of the LLC or they may appoint a manager (which can also be a member). The difference is a matter of the level of control and involvement the members desire to have in operating the company. The specific major decisions that any manager(s) can make will be defined in the operating agreement.
If this will be a multi-member LLC, please specify how the membership interests will be allocated between the Members, expressed as a percentage of the total available interests for each member (i.e. Member 1-50%, Member 2-50%).
Select the type of membership interest model of the LLC below*
- Single Class Membership Interest Model
- Dual Class Membership Model
- Dual Class Membership Priority Return Model
- Other
You must determine how the member will share profits and losses. There are a variety of methods to share profits and losses other than simply based upon the percentage interests of each Member in the LLC. The three most commonly utilized profit sharing methods are: A) Single Class Membership-Percentage Interest Model, where one class of Membership Interests exist and where each Member splits profits and losses according to a simple pro rata Percentage Interest structure; B) Dual Class Membership-Preferred Return Model, where certain Members receive “Preferred Returns” from the LLC in exchange for a lower net profit/capital gain allocation than in Model I; and C) Dual Class Membership-Priority Return Model, where certain Member(s) receives a direct repayment of the total amount in outstanding debt attributed to the LLC (‘Priority Return”) in exchange for a lower negotiated net profit share than in Models I and II. This Model is used frequently for Members who have or will personally guarantee all of the LLC’s debts while other Members may merely contribute services or management functions.
Will any member be granted a non-equity or non-ownership interest in the limited liability company? A member receiving an interest (usually for the performance of services only) is often referred to as a "profits interest" or "economic interest" recipient. A grant of a profits interest means that the recipient receives an interest in the future profits of the LLC without being required to contribute any capital to the LLC and without receiving an equity interest in the assets of the LLC. If yes, list those members.
Describe the type of contributions made by the members (i.e. money, property or services)*
Generally, the costs you contribute to organize the LLC will be considered to be your cash contribution to the LLC. In some cases, it may be real estate or services.
Describe the voting rights between the members on key decisions regarding the LLC or if any members will not receive voting rights in the LLC.*
Decisions of the company can be made unanimously by the members or by the member's percentage interest or not at all.
Will members be required to make any future capital contributions upon the discretion of the members or by the manager if applicable?
- Yes
Specify whether the LLC or the members should be granted with the option to purchase a deceased, incapacitated, dissolved or withdrawing member's interest.
Will the LLC be required to make any mandatory tax distributions to the members (to the extent applicable) to cover any state or federal taxes in connection with their membership?
- Yes
Should a member be permitted to voluntary withdraw from the LLC?
- Yes
Describe any restrictions you wish to place on a member's ability to transfer his or her interest in the LLC. This might include the company's or the remaining member's first right of refusal to purchase the members' share before a member may transfer or sell to some third party. You may also wish to allow transfer of the economic rights only in a membership interest to a member's family members if you place restrictions on transfer.
Describe whether and how the LLC will distribute any profits (available cash) to the members. Distributions are typically made according to each Members' percentage interest in the LLC, but the distribution mechanism can be flexible. The LLC can elect to withhold any profit distributions of available cash in order to reinvest as company reserves.
Would you like to include a "Tag-Along" provision in the Limited Liability Company operating agreement? (A “Tag-Along” provision means that if any member proposes to sell, transfer or assign any portion of its membership interest to a person other than the other members, the selling member shall offer the other members the opportunity to sell to the prospective purchaser such portion of their membership interests as is equal to the portion of the membership interest being sold by the selling member, for the same consideration and otherwise on the same terms and conditions.
- Yes
Would you like to include a "Drag-Along" provision in the operating agreement?
- Yes
This means if a majority or more of the members propose to sell, transfer or assign all of their membership Interests to a person other than the other non-selling member(s), the selling members may require the non-selling members to participate in the sale and sell their portion of their membership interest to such third-party purchaser as is being sold by the selling member, or such member’s entire membership interest, for the same consideration and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as agreed to by the selling member.
Do you wish to include any special provisions in the LLC Operating Agreement regarding non-solicitation of customers or employees, non-competition or confidentiality provisions or any other special provision? If yes, please describe any desired provisions below.
Will the LLC have employees and otherwise have a payroll? (this may include the manager if not a member or any other non-owner)
