Shareholders agreements are complicated but necessary
A Shareholders Agreement is the “pre-nup” for your company. It is an agreement between all shareholders which governs how the company will be run and what the rights of each shareholder are. Most people underestimate how much potential there is for disputes with business partners, and how many issues may arise which they have never considered. If you fail to set out clear rules and processes in place for changes in circumstances, decision-making and key events, you are running a huge risk for disputes to arise down the track. This is particularly important for a growing business which intends to bring future investment or partners down the line.
The future is uncertain, you need protections in place
Everyone likes to think that they get along fine with their business partners, but you never really know what the future holds – especially as the business grows. Companies can be derailed due to changes in circumstances, for example:
- Shareholders have disagreements about running the business, bringing in partners or even closing the business
- Shareholders lose motivation or are offered other opportunities and want to leave
- Shareholders are not pulling their weight or there is a disagreement about roles
- Personal circumstances such as family, health or accidents may impact a shareholder’s attitude and desires
Without a comprehensive agreement in place, these issues can grind a business to a halt and stop it from functioning effectively.
