While Florida doesn't mandate an operating agreement for LLCs, it's highly recommended. It clarifies member roles, profit/loss distribution, and decision-making processes. For No-Code Builders, it's particularly important to address IP ownership related to projects built on platforms like Bubble or Webflow, and how the LLC will handle platform risks and scaling challenges. Without it, Florida's default LLC laws will govern, which may not align with your specific needs.
