Draft Buy-Sell Agreement/Shareholder Agreement
Almost every business with more than one owner should have a buy-sell agreement/shareholder agreement. A buy-sell agreement/shareholder agreement is a binding contract between you and your co-owners that controls when an owner can sell their interest, who can buy an owner's interest, and what price will be paid for that interest. Usually, a buy-sell agreement/shareholder agreement also allows the company/corporation and its owners to buy out an owner who has stopped working for the company or has died. This eliminates the possibility that active owners will be forced to share profits with an inactive or unsuitable new owner. We will conduct a meeting to discuss this important document.
