Why your Alaska LLC needs this — even single-member
- It overrides the default rules. Without an agreement, the Alaska Revised Limited Liability Company Act decides how profits are split and who can act for the company — not you.
- It protects limited liability. A written agreement is core evidence that the LLC is a real, separate entity.
- Banks and lenders ask for it. Opening a business account or getting a loan routinely requires it.
Alaska law
No — Alaska does not require an operating agreement (as of 2026): Not required — 'The members of a limited liability company may adopt an operating agreement for the company' (AS 10.50.095); absent one, the act's default rules govern.. But without one, the default rules of the Alaska Revised Limited Liability Company Act decide ownership, management, and profit questions for you — which is why one is strongly recommended even for single-member LLCs.

Frequently asked questions
Is an operating agreement required in Alaska?
No — Alaska does not require an operating agreement (as of 2026): Not required — 'The members of a limited liability company may adopt an operating agreement for the company' (AS 10.50.095); absent one, the act's default rules govern..

Does the operating agreement get filed with the state?
No. Unlike the formation certificate (articles of organization), the operating agreement is an internal document — you sign it, keep it with your records, and give each member a copy. Banks, lenders, and courts may ask to see it, but no Alaska agency records it.
Can the agreement be oral in Alaska?
Alaska's statute recognizes: written only — the statute defines 'operating agreement' as 'a written agreement among all of the members of a limited liability company about conducting the affairs of the company' (oral or implied agreements are not recognized as the operating agreement) (Alaska Stat. § 10.50.990(17) (definition); § 10.50.095 (adoption)). Even where oral or implied agreements count, put yours in writing — proving an oral term in a dispute between members is exactly the fight the document exists to prevent.
