An Illinois LLC Operating Agreement assists in providing documentation of proposed expectations on how a limited liability company plans to maintain itself as a reference and legal resource. The paperwork is helpful when setting up an LLC to correctly detail information related to ownership, distribution, and voting privileges moving forward with operations. Illinois Department of Business Services does not require that an operating agreement be finalized for a business to effectively create an LLC, but it is recommended.
