What is an Investors Agreement?

An Investors Agreement is a legal business contract that outlines the terms of the business relationship between the investors and the business. Investors' Agreements define a range of topics that matter to investors, including the number of shares held by each shareholder, the method of distributing dividends, management and control of the business, and many more.

It can also help resolve disagreements among Shareholders and provide a more equal distribution of power to protect the minority Shareholders' best interests.

When can you use an Investors Agreement?

• You're investing in a company and want to protect your interests as a shareholder.
