Articles vs operating agreement

What this articles of organization is — and is not

This packet is built around the official Kansas articles of organization. Filing it with the state creates the LLC as a public legal entity.

The $9.99 price is not for inventing a government form. It covers the current official blank, companion files, email support, and lifetime updates if the official form changes.

This is not an operating agreement. Articles create the company; the operating agreement is the internal contract among members.

Who this packet is for

  • Use this packet to form a new domestic Kansas LLC.
  • This is not a foreign-qualification / foreign-LLC registration.
  • This is not a professional-license (PLLC) eligibility review.
  • This is not registered-agent service and not an EIN application.
  • The $9.99 price does not pay the state’s filing fee or file the document for you.

Need the internal rulebook too? After you file, most customers also download a member-managed or manager-managed operating agreement for Kansas.
