Florida LLC Operating Agreement Provision Checklist

This resource is a one-page checklist for Florida LLC owners who need to confirm their operating agreement actually covers what it should — or who are about to draft one and want to know what belongs in it before they start.

Florida does not require an operating agreement and does not file one with the state. Without one, the default rules of Chapter 605 of the Florida Statutes govern the company, deciding what happens on deadlock, death, and transfer in ways the owners rarely would have chosen. This checklist walks the seven provisions that keep the company governed by its owners instead of by the statute.

What the PDF covers

• Ownership percentages, capital contributions, and capital-call mechanics.
• Management structure and specific signing authority.
• Voting thresholds for major decisions and a tie-breaker for fifty-fifty companies.
• Profit allocation, distribution timing, and a tax-distribution provision.
• Transfer restrictions and a buy-sell with an agreed valuation method.
• Death, disability, and withdrawal terms tied to that valuation.
• Dissolution and dispute-resolution path.

For the reasoning behind each provision, see 7 Provisions Every Florida LLC Operating Agreement Should Contain. For the drafting sequence in step-by-step form, see the firm's guide to drafting a Florida LLC operating agreement. If you want the agreement drafted around how your company actually runs, the firm's flat-fee Operating Agreement service covers all seven, out of Jacksonville, Florida.
