Shareholders Rights Agreement

If you're starting a company with shareholders, a Shareholders Rights Agreement helps keep your shareholders in check. Or maybe you're a shareholder and want to define your rights. Maybe a company started as a mom and pop operation, but it's growing to include more shareholders. A Shareholders Rights Agreement clearly defines terms between the company and its shareholders.

Use the Shareholders Rights Agreement document if:

• You are forming a business with more than one investor and you want to clarify how the business will run
• You want to create rules for how your business will deal with any disputes between owners
• You are a shareholder and want to protect your interest in the company
