12.01.2022 Setting up a business can be overwhelming and it's often difficult to determine where money should be spent in the early stages. Often overlooked is the Shareholders' Agreement. While not a legal requirement, any business with more than one shareholder should highly consider having one. Here are a couple of benefits of the agreement: 1. It's the easier (and notably more cost effective) way to minimise potential disputes between owners by setting out a framework for decision making and dispute resolution. 2. It prevents changes in shareholder's personal circumstances having the ability to make an impact on the business or other shareholders situations, ultimately safeguarding the company and each shareholder.
