A Co-Founder Agreement allows you to set out the equity ownership, initial investments and responsibilities of each Co-Founder. The purpose of the agreement is to make the understanding the co-founders have regarding the functioning of their company and relationship and obligation between co-founders legally binding through a formally written agreement.

The formation of such an agreement requires an open discussion between the partners regarding their apprehensions, fears, outlook, aspirations and all arrangements involving the start up. The objective of the agreement is to minimize the possibility of debilitating surprises in the future when the company is functional in terms of inter co-founder relationship.

In India, one can choose from five different types of legal entities to conduct business.

These characteristics are key to building your brand identity and carving a unique niche for your business. And so, legally protecting these aspects of your business identity and making sure nobody else misappropriates them is intrinsic to running a successful business.

Yosh kompaniya ta'sischilari uchun eng qiyin muammolardan biri bu ta'sischilar va erta yollanganlar o'rtasida kapitalni qanday bo'lish haqida qaror qabul qilishdir. Bu, ayniqsa, hammuassislar tajribasiz yoki do'stlik, shuningdek, biznes hamkorligi bo'lsa, murakkab. Har bir sherikning rolini qadrlash shaxsiy xususiyatga ega bo'lishi mumkin va buni bir kecha-kunduzda emas, balki metodik ravishda, ma'lum vaqt oralig'ida va maslahat bilan qilish yaxshiroqdir.
