The Document Nobody Reads — Until Everything Goes Wrong
Your operating agreement is your business’s rulebook. Make sure it has rules.
Two friends start a business, shake hands on 50/50, skip the operating agreement. Then one wants to sell and the other doesn’t. Without an agreement, you’re in court — in Washington, the judge applies default LLC rules: equal profit distribution regardless of who does the work, equal voting regardless of who put in capital. Without an agreement, you don’t get to choose. An operating agreement is how you choose. Corp Nation includes a customized template with every Starter Package, drafted to Washington standards. Banks require it. The SBA wants it for loans. Enterprise clients expect it. It’s not just protection — it’s credibility. Give your business a real rulebook.
