FAQ

Is there really no subscription?

Correct. You pay $2.99 per document and can edit and re-download it as much as you like. No monthly fee.

Are these documents state-specific?

Each document includes the common terms most US situations need plus a field for your state and reminders about state-specific rules (deposit caps, notice periods, disclosures). Laws change, so always verify the final document against your state's current rules.

Is this legal advice?

No. SnapLegal provides self-help document templates and is not a law firm. For complex or high-value matters, have a licensed attorney review your document.

Is my information private?

Completely. Everything you enter stays in your browser and the PDF is generated on your device — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

What if I'm not satisfied?

Email us with your order number and a short note and we'll refund you.

Does a single-member LLC need an operating agreement?

Many states don't legally require one, but banks, investors and courts often expect it. Having one reinforces the separation between you and the LLC, which helps protect your personal assets.

Is this for multi-member LLCs?

This template is written for a single-member LLC. Multi-member LLCs need additional provisions for ownership splits, voting and profit sharing.
