Operating Agreement

The Operating Agreement helps protect your company’s limited liability status and prevents your company from being run by the default rules created by a state. Although Arkansas does not mandate all LLCs to have an Operating Agreement, it is highly recommended that you have one.

• • EIN – Tax Identification Number – This is available as an optional extra for non-US residents with all LLC incorporations arranged by Turner Little.
