A New York limited liability company operating agreement is a legally binding document that the entity’s member must sign under Section 417 of the New York Limited Liability Company laws. Thus, in order to organize a NY LLC, organizers must develop and issue an operating agreement for each member to sign. The operating agreement may be made before the LLC is organized, at the time of its formation, or no more than ninety (90) days after the LLC’s formation.
This is considered internal documentation of New York LLC’s members, structure, and business conduct and must be kept readily accessible in the company’s files.
Is it REQUIRED in New York?
