Shareholders Agreement Template

What is a shareholders agreement?

A shareholders’ agreement is an agreement between the shareholders of a company. It can be between all of the shareholders or only some of the shareholders. Its purpose is to protect the shareholders’ investment in the company and to establish a fair relationship between the shareholders and govern how the company is run.

By using a shareholders agreement you are able to supplement the company’s articles by using this shareholders agreement to prevent conflict and protect minority shareholders. This straightforward and easy to use shareholders agreement template can be used between some, or all of your company shareholders. It covers key issues such as company administration, the company’s officers, new share issues, day to day management, decision-making and leaving shareholders.

A shareholders agreement will typically aim to:

  • Set out the shareholders’ rights and obligations,
  • Regulate the sale of shares in the company,
  • Describe how the company is going to be run,
  • Provide an element of protection for minority shareholders and the company,
  • Define how important decisions are to be made.

The shareholders’ agreement will contain specific, important and practical rules relating to the company and the relationship between the shareholders. This can be beneficial both to minority and majority shareholders. Therefore it is always beneficial to have one in place before embarking upon a new business venture.
