A Rhode Island limited liability company operating agreement sets the company’s member names and powers to paper. Assuming it is executed as a signed and notarized document (recommended), it enables the Rhode Island entity and its members to demonstrate proof of its existence as needed quickly. This can be very useful when meeting the demands of private institutions such as banks or when dealing with inquiries from a governing body like the I.R.S. Furthermore, as a signed document, it will record each Rhode Island member’s approval of the procedures and policies that the company will implement.
