The people who run the daily operations of the LLC are called the "managers". The managers may also be members, but they don't have to be. How is the LLC managed?
Choose "member managed" for a single-member LLC that is managed by that member, or for a multi-member LLC that is managed by all of the members who share responsibility for the daily management of the business. For example, if all the members provide the service, assist the customers, or help make the products of the LLC, you should choose this option.
Note: The Articles of Organization will state that the LLC will be managed by ALL LLC MEMBERS.
Choose "manager managed" only if the LLC has multiple members who will not all be participating in the daily management of the LLC. This choice is appropriate when the LLC is large and management by all the members would be impractical or unwieldy. This choice is also common when some of the members prefer to be passive investors or are not skilled at managing the business.
Note: Depending on how many Managers you list in Question 13 below The Articles of Organization will state that the LLC will be managed by ONE MANAGER or by MORE THAN ONE MANAGER.
