Avoid the common pitfalls of starting up a limited liability company by using our Pre-Organization Kit.

By using the included worksheets and checklists, you will have before you all of the basic data you will need to complete your organization paperwork. But perhaps even more important, by using this kit you will also uncover any potential differences of opinion among the organizers.

Often, conflicts and demands are not known until the actual process of determining the company’s structure begins. Frank discussions regarding the questions of voting rights, distribution of profits, amounts of contributions, and other management decisions often will enable potential associates to resolve many of the difficult problems of company management in advance, thereby avoiding much larger and more costly problems in the future.

The use of a written worksheet will also provide all persons involved with a clear and permanent record of the issues discussed and the decisions made, which may be important as your company grows.

Included in this packet are the following:

· Instructions for completing Pre-Organization Worksheet
· Pre-Organization Worksheet
· Pre-Organization Checklist
· Document Filing Checklist

This Kit has been designed for use in California.

  • Groups of individuals planning to form an LLC can use this kit to align their visions and expectations. By discussing and recording their agreements on key issues, they can create a solid foundation for their business operations.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for individuals who have already completed the organization of their LLC. Once the Articles of Organization have been filed, the pre-organization considerations are no longer relevant.
  • If the organizers have already established clear agreements and understandings regarding management and profit distribution, this kit may be unnecessary. It is designed for those who need to clarify these issues before formalizing their LLC.
