Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The company constitution is a public document filed with the CRO. A shareholder agreement is a private contract between the shareholders that covers matters you may not want to be public - such as dividend policy, deadlock resolution, exit terms, and restrictive covenants. The two documents work together.
A deadlock occurs when shareholders cannot agree on a major decision, particularly in 50/50 ownership structures. Our agreement includes a structured resolution process: first informal discussion, then mediation, then expert determination, and finally a buy-out mechanism (such as a "Russian roulette" or "Texas shoot-out" clause) as a last resort.
These determine the price a departing shareholder receives for their shares. A "good leaver" (retirement, death, disability, or agreed departure) typically receives fair market value. A "bad leaver" (dismissal for cause, breach of agreement, competing with the company) may receive a discounted price. Our questionnaire lets you define these terms.
Yes. Our questionnaire supports up to 6 named shareholders with different share classes and voting rights. For companies with more complex structures, we recommend consulting a solicitor.
