Even if you are not required by your state to have an Operating Agreement, it is a good idea to have both an Operating Agreement and a Business Plan. While most businesses start with an idea, an idea cannot run your business. A well-thought-out Operating Agreement can help you prepare for difficult situations, and a solid Business Plan can help you outline the strategic vision for your company's growth and success.
An Operating Agreement generally includes details about:
-Member contributions
-Accounting
-Dissolution
And a good Business Plan generally includes:
-A clear description of your product or service
-Who the stakeholders are and their roles
-A researched marketing plan
-A financial plan
While in some cases a handshake agreement may be proven valid if it needs to be enforced, it is better to have a written agreement. Some laws require written contracts, such as certain real estate transactions. Additionally, there are laws that require contracts for agreements that may last longer than one year.
A sample list of business agreements you should get in writing:
-Any real estate sales contract
-Commercial and residential lease agreements
-Sales agreements for large purchases
-Service agreements for costly jobs
-Partnerships or joint venture agreements
-Loan and investment contracts
-Agreements that last longer than a year
-Agreements that last past the death of one of parties
