Quite often circumstances can be complicated and shareholders’ interests could be prejudiced in situations where they hold a minority interest in a business, with no way of influencing decisions agreed by the majority. In these situations, a Shareholder Agreement can be very useful.
In the absence of a properly drafted Agreement, there is always a risk of disruption to you and your business, for example:
If you do not have a day to day involvement in your company, do you want a veto on certain decisions? It is sensible to ensure that there is a common understanding of shareholder expectations within your business.
