Frequently asked
questions.
Why enter into a shareholders' agreement?
Alongside the articles, it organises relations between shareholders: governance, allocation of powers, entries and exits, liquidity and exit clauses, founders' undertakings. Unlike the articles, it remains confidential.
SAS or SARL: how to choose?
The SAS offers wide contractual freedom and suits investor entries; the SARL is more regulated. The choice depends on the project, the intended shareholding, the manager's social security regime and tax. It is decided case by case.
How does a shareholder enter or exit?
Through a share transfer, a capital increase, a buy-back or a capital reduction, depending on the situation. Approval and pre-emption clauses and any exit provisions of the shareholders' agreement frame the transaction.
How are fees set?
A written fee agreement is entered into before any work begins. Terms (fixed fee, hourly rate or a combination) depend on the nature and complexity of the engagement.
