Hi Liam, No answers? Your approach makes sense to me.
I joined our business after the initial founders so I don't feel I can share the shareholders agreement. The other investors are lawyers so it's written to the level of sophistication that makes them comfortable any (ie. very complex). There must be a good example around somewhere. If not, Mark Toohey at Andriot Lawyers gave a presentation on writing sharedholder's agreements at the bootupcamp last year so he's at least familiar with start-up needs. Next time I'll give him a call. http://www.adroitlawyers.com.au/ cheers, Jeromy Evans On Jul 7, 11:19 am, SoccerFit <lia...@soccerfit.com.au> wrote: > Hi all, > > Seeking input on a Shareholders agreement template that can be > modified/adjusted as required. > > I have read previous posts to the group but didn't get a sense that > anyone had identified a good starting point document...or a least one > that looked like it had some of the usual legal 'trimmings' associated > with it....not that I'm obsessed with the need for it to look > 'legalistic' but, I guess, one assumes that this type of document is > generally perceived better. > > I do subscribe to the view that the SA document is only enforce-able > to the extent that you are willing to pay lawyers to do so. > > So...in trying to simplify things...I was hoping to... > > a) Collect the dot points from the other party (there is only one...an > experienced investor who knows this terrain fairly well) that > represent 'what they want' in the document. > b) Add these (with any agreed adjustments) to a basic template - > either one purchased off the net, or other decent-looking one that I > can get hold of). > c) Send the combo-document to a lawyer to review/advise/ > rubberstamp...for hopefully less than 2 to 3K. > > Make any sense?
