A: Here’s one way, assuming the LLC is member managed:

NAME OF LLC

By its member, Name of Member

By. _________________

Your typed name

Your title

The idea is to make it clear that the member signs on behalf of the LLC and you sign on behalf of the member.

A: Hello,

Depending on what you are signing. Normally you would set up a manager for the LLC and have the person sign in their capacity as a manager.

If you are signing the articles of organization, then the S-corp manager would sign in their capacity as a manager.

I am assuming you indeed have a corporation and not just another LLC that has elected to be taxed as an S-Corp.

I hope this helps.
