Operating Agreement

An Operating Agreement governs internal management and ownership rights of a limited liability company. This playbook highlights voting procedures, capital contributions, and dissolution mechanics.

Payment Terms & Pricing

Why This Matters: Unclear payment terms can delay cash flows, harm working capital, and trigger disputes over fees.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure payment terms are clear and linked to deliverables. Negotiate favorable currency terms to minimize conversion costs.

If you're the Members:

Propose a payment schedule that aligns with project phases. Include a price adjustment mechanism to account for cost fluctuations.

Essential elements
