Should you have a Shareholders Agreement?
December 22, 2020

What happens when a business partner wants to leave the business? What if there’s a dispute?   If there’s no contract in place between business partners and, therefore, no mechanism as to how you buy that partner out, or settle any disputes, then what do you do?   This will result in lengthy and costly negotiations, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes for all concerned.   As a result, the business suffers and may even close because of the failure to reach an agreement.

When running a business, you’ll undoubtedly be busy dealing with day to day operational requirements. Therefore, you can easily forget to put a contract in place detailing who owns the business, as well as the terms on which you work together as owners.

We can draft shareholder and partnership agreements for you. Even if you’ve been running your business for many years without them, you can still benefit from putting an agreement in place now. For that reason, we strongly advise you to do so.
