Your Sovereign
Operating Agreement
Generic templates fail global founders. We architect the customized legal backbone required to satisfy U.S. banks, the IRS, and international asset protection standards.
The Foundation of Compliance
More Than Just a
Formal Document.
For an international founder, the Operating Agreement is the primary piece of evidence used by U.S. financial institutions to verify your legal right to the company.
Since 2008, It’s Your LLC has observed that 90% of banking holds and Stripe freezes originate from flawed or “standard” agreements that do not account for Non-Resident Alien (NRA) status. We engineer your bylaws to align with IRS Form 5472 disclosure requirements and Tier-1 banking KYC audits.
Banking KYC Defense
Tier-1 banks require explicit member-management clauses to authorize remote signers. We ensure your agreement passes every audit.
Liability Shield Reinforcement
Without a customized agreement, the “Corporate Veil” is thin. We architect robust indemnification protocols to protect your global assets.
IRS Alignment
We structure the agreement to mirror the information reported on mandatory federal disclosures for foreign-owned entities.
Sovereign Architecture Protocol
Four pillars of institutional governance for the global founder.
Member Authorization
Explicitly defining the rights and authorities of international members to act on behalf of the U.S. entity in foreign jurisdictions.
Capital Contribution
Detailed recording of cross-border capital flow to satisfy anti-money laundering (AML) and “Source of Wealth” banking inquiries.
Dissolution Logic
Institutional procedures for winding down U.S. operations and repatriating assets according to bilateral tax treaties.
Dispute Resolution
Establishing the jurisdictional nexus for legal disputes, protecting the founder from unnecessary U.S. litigation costs.
Institutional Knowledge
Governance Guide for Non-Resident Founders
Is an Operating Agreement mandatory for a single-member LLC?
Legally, most states do not require a written agreement for single-member LLCs. However, practically, it is mandatory for international founders. Without it, you cannot open a U.S. bank account or verify your identity with merchant gateways like Stripe.
How does this document help with U.S. banking?
Banks use the Operating Agreement to identify the “Beneficial Owners” and “Authorized Signers.” Our custom architecture includes the specific language required by NRA-friendly banks to authorize remote signatures from abroad.
Can I update my Operating Agreement later?
Yes. An Operating Agreement is a living document. We architect our agreements with amendment protocols that allow you to add members, change management structures, or adjust capital contributions as your global enterprise scales.
