When starting a new business venture with someone else, it is crucial to have a shareholders agreement in place. Here are some important things to keep in mind: - Early agreement is best Establishing rules and boundaries early on in a business relationship is easier and more effective than during disputes.

A well-drafted shareholders’ agreement will help to handle them more efficiently. - Tailored agreements Standard templates for shareholders' agreements are not effective. Each agreement should be based on individual circumstances, discussions, and specific shareholder requirements, making it a document that can adapt over time. - Costs and investments Creating a shareholders’ agreement incurs upfront costs, but it is a wise investment considering the legal and financial complications that may arise without one. - Legal help may be necessary Some shareholder disputes may require court intervention and legal support.

Some statistics suggest that 66% of businesses fail before they see their ten year mark. Because of our expertise, we see a lot of these businesses. There are many reasons why a business can fail, and a dispute between the shareholders is one of the reasons that is common. As such, it is important to properly document arrangements between the shareholders before they shake their hands. Having a robust and tailored to your personal needs shareholder agreement can help to avoid disputes. Also, if the shareholders do end up in a dispute, the shareholder agreement can make the resolution of the dispute simpler and faster. Based on our experience, a poorly drafted or a ‘templated’ shareholder agreement often causes more problems than not having one at all! We have prepared a list that addresses the top issues to be discussed, agreed and documented upfront between the prospective shareholders to reduce the chances of a dispute. It is important that prospective shareholders turn their minds to these issues and document them properly.
