Why your Wyoming LLC needs this — even single-member
- It overrides the default rules. Without an agreement, the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act (Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-29-101 through 17-29-1105) 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.
Wyoming law
No — Wyoming does not require an operating agreement (as of 2026): Not required. RULLCA-style: the operating agreement (oral, in a record, implied, or any combination) governs the matters described in Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-110(a); statutory defaults fill any gaps. No provision directs an LLC to adopt one.. But without one, the default rules of the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act (Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-29-101 through 17-29-1105) decide ownership, management, and profit questions for you — which is why one is strongly recommended even for single-member LLCs. Source: Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-29-102(a)(xiv), 17-29-110. Check the current Wyoming LLC rules before relying on any default.
Frequently asked questions

Stat. §§ 17-29-102(a)(xiv), 17-29-110.
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 Wyoming agency records it.
Can the agreement be oral in Wyoming?
Wyoming's statute recognizes: "the agreement, whether or not referred to as an operating agreement and whether oral, in a record, implied or in any combination thereof, of all the members of a limited liability company, including a sole member" (Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-102(a)(xiv)) (Wyo. Stat. §§ 17-29-102(a)(xiv), 17-29-110). 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.
