Who should use this service
Building the structure in advance makes sense for teams that are serious about raising financing. Instead of waiting for the first conversations with investors, we set up the company and the shareholders’ agreement straight away, so that registry procedures do not consume time at the very moment an investor becomes interested. A sound structure also clarifies the relations between the founders and protects their interests if the team changes.
What the shareholders’ agreement covers
The basic shareholders’ agreement governs voting rights, the rules on profit distribution, tag-along rights and non-competition undertakings. It also secures the terms on which a new investor joins and sets out the procedures for key decisions. It does not contain advanced mechanisms such as liquidation preference or vesting, which are usually negotiated directly with investors. What it provides are the foundations, the starting point for those negotiations.
Price and scope
The price starts at EUR 2300 net and covers a founder team of up to three people, one planned financing round and a basic scope of the shareholders’ agreement, without advanced mechanisms such as liquidation preference or vesting. A larger team, a more complex shareholding structure or a wider scope of protective clauses are priced individually.
