What Are Shareholder and Partnership Agreements?
Shareholder Agreements: Contracts that define the relationship between shareholders in a company, including their rights, obligations, and protections.
Partnership Agreements: Agreements that outline the terms of a business partnership, covering profit sharing, decision-making, and dispute resolution.
These agreements ensure:
- Clear roles and responsibilities for all parties.
- Procedures for resolving disputes and managing exits.
- Protection for minority shareholders or partners.
- Safeguards for business continuity during changes in ownership.
Why Do You Need These Agreements?
Without formal agreements, businesses face increased risks, including:
- Disputes: Misunderstandings over roles, profits, or decision-making.
- Uncertainty: Lack of clarity on what happens if a shareholder or partner leaves.
- Legal Vulnerabilities: Limited protections for your business or personal interests.
A well-drafted agreement ensures your business operates smoothly and efficiently, reducing potential conflicts and safeguarding its future.
