FAQs
What is the importance of a shareholder or partnership agreement?
A shareholder or partnership agreement is crucial for defining the rights and responsibilities of business owners and avoiding disputes. These agreements typically address:
Ownership percentages and capital contributions.
Profit distribution and decision-making processes.
Dispute resolution mechanisms.
Terms for buying or selling shares, or dissolving the partnership.
Without a clear agreement, owners may face legal and financial challenges. We draft and negotiate agreements to protect your interests and provide long-term stability for your business.
What legal structures are available for businesses in Ontario?
In Ontario, businesses can operate under several legal structures, including:
Sole proprietorships: Simple and low-cost, but the owner is personally liable for business debts.
Partnerships: Two or more people share ownership, with varying liability depending on the type (general or limited).
Corporations: Separate legal entities that provide limited liability for owners but involve more regulatory requirements.
Cooperatives: Owned and operated by members for mutual benefit.
Choosing the right structure depends on factors like liability, tax implications, and operational needs. We assist clients in selecting and setting up the most suitable option for their business goals.
