9. Form Operating Agreement

Forming an operating agreement is crucial for any business as it serves as a foundational document that outlines the internal workings, roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes of the company. This agreement not only clarifies the expectations among business partners but also helps prevent misunderstandings and potential disputes down the road. By setting out guidelines for various scenarios, including profit distribution, management changes, and dispute resolution, an operating agreement provides a solid framework for the business's smooth operation and growth.
