Questions
Is this single-member llc operating agreement valid in Ohio?
Yes. The Ohio edition is the state-neutral form with the Ohio statute, filing office and document names typed in, and the clauses Ohio treats differently adjusted. It is a template you complete yourself; have an attorney licensed in Ohio review it if your situation is unusual.
What file do I get?

How do I complete it?
Open the Instruction Sheet first. Replace each yellow [BRACKETED FIELD] with your information, delete the options you do not use, delete the cover page, then print or e-sign.
Do I need a notary or a lawyer?
The Instruction Sheet says when a signature needs a notary and lists the situations where the form is not enough and an attorney should review it.
