What Should Go Into the Operating Agreement and Bylaws?

A business operating agreement outlines how the business will be run on a day-to-day basis. It includes information about how profits and losses will be distributed, how decisions will be made, and how the business will be managed.

On the other hand, bylaws are governing document that outlines the structure and operations of the business. They typically include information about the board of directors, the officers of the company, and the shareholders or members. They also outline the procedures for holding meetings, voting on decisions, and making changes to the bylaws themselves.

It’s important to have these documents in place early on in the life of a business, as they can help to prevent disputes and misunderstandings down the road. The documents also serve as a reference point for legal requirements. It’s advisable to have the bylaws and operating agreements created and reviewed by an attorney in business law.

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
