When setting up a business with partners or bringing in new investors, it is essential to have a clear and legally binding agreement that defines the rights and responsibilities of shareholders. A UK shareholders agreement helps establish ownership structure, decision-making authority, dispute resolution mechanisms, and business continuity plans, ensuring transparency and legal protection for all parties involved.

Why use a Shareholder Agreement?

A well-drafted shareholders agreement clarifies shareholder obligations and protects business interests. It helps outline how shares are issued or transferred, the balance of power between majority and minority shareholders, and procedures in the event of a shareholder’s death or incapacity.

Each Shareholder Agreement template in this collection is fully compliant with the Companies Act 2006, providing legally sound agreements tailored to different business structures. For additional support, the Shareholders’ Notes and Comparison Note help businesses select the most appropriate agreement for their circumstances.
