LLC Operating Agreement

[Jeff V.]

Starting an LLC and at the point where my business partner and I have come to agreements on how the business will be ran ect.

We will be putting these agreements into the LLC Operating Agreement. My question is once this document is drafted does it just need to remain on file or does it also need to be submitted to the secretary of state along with the Initial Report and Articles of Organization.

I'm located in Louisiana and will be Organizing a Louisiana LLC. Louisiana does not require Operating agreements for the LLC, but I have a partner and believe it to be the best solution to protect both my partner and myself.

Please advise on whether this has to be filed with the state, or recorded somewhere in public record or just to have on hand for opening accounts ect in the business name.

Thanks,

Jeff V.
