An organizer is a person who signs the articles or organization that are filed to form an LLC.<\/p>\n

The organizer can be — but is not required to be — a member (i.e. owner) or manager of the LLC.\u00a0 By signing the articles, the organizer is not indicating any ownership or management in the LLC, per se.<\/p>\n

Ownership and management of the LLC are set forth in the LLC’s operating agreement once it is prepared and signed by the members of the company.<\/p>\n

Being an Organizer alone creates no liability in relation to the company. Thus, there is no need to modify or remove your name from the organizing documents (and in many states there is no way to do so without a new filing).<\/p>\n

To create an LLC filing, see Standard Legal’s Limited Liability Company legal forms software<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
