This page is the template library for the system already established in our LLC Operating Agreement Guide. The three files below are the same master PDFs used there. They are intentionally separated by actual governance structure.
Single-Member
For an LLC with one member who owns and generally controls the company. Focuses on sole ownership, authority, company separateness, distributions and continuity/succession.
Download Free PDF →Multi-Member / Member-Managed
For two or more members who participate directly in management. Adds ownership, voting, contributions, transfer, exit and dispute-related governance.
Download Free PDF →Manager-Managed
For LLCs where members delegate day-to-day authority to one or more managers. Separates manager authority from decisions reserved to the members.
Download Free PDF →Fill every applicable blank, remove provisions or choices that do not fit, make sure ownership and management terms match the LLC's actual arrangement, check the formation state's operating-agreement rules, and obtain professional legal/tax review when the arrangement is complex.
How the Enjoys-life Template System Works
Compare the Three Agreement Types
| Agreement type | Best fit | Main drafting focus |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Member | One owner | Sole ownership, authority, company separateness, distributions, records and succession/continuity. |
| Multi-Member / Member-Managed | Two or more members who participate in management | Ownership, contributions, voting, deadlocks, distributions, transfers, exits and admissions. |
| Manager-Managed | Members delegate day-to-day authority to one or more managers | Manager powers and limits, member reserved rights, reporting, removal/replacement and approval thresholds. |
State-Specific Operating Agreement Guides
The original operating-agreement system does not stop at the national PDF. It routes the user into a dedicated state guide because adoption, form, timing, enforceability and nonwaivable rules differ. Choose the LLC's formation state below.
Each selection routes to /{state}-llc/operating-agreement/. This is the same state-specific operating-agreement architecture used by the core Operating Agreement page.
