Shareholder Agreement

What is Shareholder Agreement?

A contract between shareholders that sets out rights, responsibilities, and rules for decisions, exits, and disputes.

Think of it like this…

The playbook for how owners work together, make decisions, and handle changes.

Why does it matter?

• Prevents conflict by setting expectations upfront
• Covers buy‑sell terms, deadlock, and dispute resolution
• Protects minority and majority interests

Best practice

Review and update it after any funding round or major ownership change.
