- Member-managed
- Every Member has authority to make day-to-day decisions and sign for the LLC. Common for LLCs where all owners are actively involved in running the business.
- Manager-managed
- One or more Managers, who may or may not also be Members, run daily operations while the other Members stay passive owners. Common when some owners are investors who are not involved in day-to-day operations.
