Check every amendment
An amendment can be easy to miss because it is shorter than the original agreement.
Match names and capacities
Member, manager, officer, and authorized-signer labels should be understandable and consistent.
Review signature dates
Dates can help establish sequence and whether an amendment was executed before or after another governing document.

FAQ
Common questions
Does every uploaded WOSB document require a signature?
No. Signature requirements depend on the document. The goal is to make sure documents that are intended to be executed are complete and current.
Can I upload an unsigned Operating Agreement?
Follow the current SBA application instructions and your governing-document requirements. If a signed version exists or signatures are required, an unsigned draft can create avoidable review questions.
