Ask HN: Where can I find a “standard” shareholder agreement for a company?
I'm looking for a "standard" shareholder agreement that would cover most of the topics needed when forming a company. It's going to be a services(consulting) company so if there's anything focused on that, better.
I have a bunch in Portuguese (native language), but I need one in English to get a conversation started around the subject. Ideally it would include voting rights, buyout rules, vesting, veto rights, financial powers, etc.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
- wwalser 10y agoYC-backed Clerky released a few standard incorporation documents[1]. I'm not sure if the shareholder agreement is in there. Startup Commons also has some reasonable documents available http://www.startupcommons.org/founders-shareholder-agreement.html http://www.startupcommons.org/founders-shareholder-agreement.... https://www.clerky.com/yc-stock-plan-forms https://www.clerky.com/yc-stock-plan-forms
