About Buy Sell Agreements
A Multi-Member LLC's Most Important Document*
- All multi-member LLCs other than a two member LLC owned by a married couple should have a document signed by all of the members called a Buy Sell Agreement. This is the document that contains the members' exit strategy. It deals with events such as death of a member. Without a Buy Sell Agreement the members of an LLC are stuck with each other forever. To learn more about Buy Sell Agreements read What You Need to Know about LLC Buy Sell Agreements.
Do You Want to Purchase a Buy Sell Agreement?*
- Yes. I want to save $600 off the normal price of $1,497 & purchase a custom Buy Sell Agreement for $897.
- No. I do not want a Buy Sell Agreement at this time. I understand that I will save $600 off the normal price of $1,497 if I purchase the Buy Sell Agreement within 90 days of the date you email the Operating Agreement to our contact person.
