In our latest video, our MD Sarah Alexander focuses on the subject of Shareholders Agreements!
A shareholders’ agreement is entered into between all or some of the shareholders in a company. It regulates the relationship between the shareholders, the management of the company, ownership of the shares and the protection of the shareholders. They also govern the way in which the company is run.
A properly drawn up and comprehensive agreement can protect minority interests, clarify who makes decisions, empowers all participants, acts as a record of agreement, can help keep your affairs more private and can offer flexibility if and when situations such as retirement, death, disability and disagreements arise.
Please talk to us if you need help in planning for an agreement, especially where there are several shareholders, a new company is being formed, a shareholder wants to sell their shares or pass them to their children, someone is nearing retirement, or the company has borrowed money from a shareholder. We can help with share and company valuations and putting the shareholders wishes into an agreement with a local solicitor.
You can call us on 01243 782 423 or email LetsTalk@LewisBrownlee.co.uk
