LLC Management Structure
expand help

In Arizona, management of an LLC is vested in the members, or in designated managers. In other states, management is more simply referred to as being managed by "some", "all" or "none" of the members.

In any case, it is possible to have all or only some of the LLC members possessing management responsibilities, or for persons who are not owners to control the company.

Who will manage the LLC? (Please list all Managers)

Manager #1
Is this manager also an owner? No Yes

How will the Company's profits will be shared by the Owners?
All Members will own equal shares.
I will state each Member's ownership share as a specific percentage amount. The Members' shares will be directly proportionate to their capital contributions.

Are any of the Members a Trust, Corporation or LLC? Yes No

Designate type of entity: Trust Corporation LLC

How many owners (members) exist at the present time?

Please provide at least one name for your company. You can provide up to 3 names (in order of preference). This can save time in the formation process if there are any problems or conflicts with using the first selection.

The name of the company needs to be appended with a "limited liability designation". Examples of permissible designations include: "LC, LLC", or "limited liability company" spelled out.

Unless specified to the contrary, married couples residing in Arizona own personal property (including LLC interests & corporate stock) as Community Property (each spouse owns one-half of the married member's share in the LLC). If a married member's share will be held as sole property or as Community Property With Right of Survivorship, we'll need the name of their spouse to prepare the documents accordingly. (You can leave spouse's names out, if the share will be owned as Community Property, or if this determination will be made in the future.)

You can add as many as four LLC Managers in this section. List all persons who have management rights, even if they are not owners.

An LLC Manager does not necessarilly have a legal right to profits (Members do), but Managers do have management powers.

If the Manager has a legal right to receive profits from the LLC they are also a Member (owner).

This number should INCLUDE the Managers that have ownership rights.

Select this if there is one owner and the sole owner is the only person who will have any management rights (even if they are married).

Make this selection if all owners will have equal management rights regardless of their profit share.
(Typical of a Husband & Wife LLC where both spouses control the company, or where 2 or more "partners" want to manage the company equally)

You can allocate the owner's management rights in different percentage amounts. For example, Member One might control 60% of voting and management rights; Member Two controls 30% and the remaining 10% is allocated to a third Member.

Members are able to apportion management rights in percentages dissimilar to their profit sharing and capital contributions. For example, Bill and Harry want to share profits 50/50, but Bill is to exercise 75% of management and control over the LLC. Bill's management rights should be specified as 75% and Harry's as 25% so we can prepare the Operating Agreement to effectuate this provision.

Select this if you want to distribute LLC profits to owners in percentages, (e.g. 15% allocation to Member 1; 50% to Member 2; 35% to Member 3).

Enter the percentage of profits this Member is legally entitled to receive.

This option is for distributing profits in proportion to the value of each member's initial and (or) continuing contribution to the LLC.
(example: Member 1 makes a capital contribution of $6000,
Member 2 promises a contribution of $3000,
Member 3 contributes $3000.
The Operating Agreement apportions profits as follows:
50% attributed to Member 1; 25% to Member 2; 25% to Member 3)

We're looking for the fair market value of the Cash, Property and (or) Services of the Member's initial contribution to the LLC so we can calculate the member's share of profits. For example, 2 members start an LLC. Member 1 contributes $4000 and Member 2 contributes $8000. The Operating Agreement will provide that the profits will be allocated in proportion to the respective members' contributions (one-third attributed to Member 1 and two-thirds attributed to Member 2).
