Shareholder Agreement
The rulebook between a company's owners
A contract between a company's shareholders (and often the company itself) that governs decision-making, share transfers, what happens if a shareholder leaves, and how disputes get resolved. Canadian startups with more than one founder should have one in place before problems start, not after.
