A Washington multi-member LLC operating agreement is a document that would allow a company’s members, to outline the rules and regulations of the company and define the roles that members would serve in the funding and management of a business, among many other services. The state will not require that this document be filed to set forth a business within the state, however, completion of the document shall also provide a level of protection for all managing members, inasmuch as the document creates a separation between the private finance and private assets for all members and the finances and assets of the business.

The form will also state in writing the listing of the members, financial and management contribution, percentage of interest, etc. The form will establish all of the basic information with regard to the standard operating procedures, by all members, who shall then agree to manage while in compliance with these procedures and policies. There are tax advantages available once the document is filed.
