Manager-managed separates ownership from day-to-day management, which is cleaner if you have passive investors or want a clear chain of authority. Our generator produces different management articles based on your pick.
Yes. You can copy the plain text, download it as a formatted HTML document (prints cleanly to PDF from any browser), or send it to your attorney. All edits happen outside the generator.
All 50 US states. The governing law clause and formation references are customized to your pick. State-specific quirks (like Wyoming's series LLC or California's $800 franchise tax) are not automatically handled — that is what attorney review is for.
