Course Overview
A shareholder agreement is a written agreement between shareholders or partners of a business and it outlines the obligations and responsibilities of the business owners. It’s intended to ensure that shareholders are treated fairly and their rights are protected.
A shareholder agreement covers the funding, structure, management and direction of a business and it’s designed to deal with any issues that might arise during the life of a business.
Because every business is different, the process of developing each agreement needs to be tailored to meet the needs of all relevant partners/shareholders and their relevant advisors.
