Legal documents every Startup needs from day one!
Starting a Startup is exciting. But before growth, funding, or scaling - strong legal foundations are essential.
Here are some legal documents every Startup needs from day one:
- Founder’s Agreement: Clearly outlines decision-making authority, equity distribution, and roles.
- Incorporation Documents (MOA & AOA): Officially registers your company and gives it legal recognition.
- NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement): Safeguards your idea while discussing it with others.
- Employment Contracts: Defines roles, salary, exit terms, and ownership of work.
- IP Assignment Agreement: Ensures all creations are owned by the business, not individuals.
- Shareholders’ Agreement: Protects equity and defines investor rights and exits.
- Investment Agreements: Clearly states what founders commit to and what investors receive.
- Co-Founder Exit Clause: Decides what happens if a founder leaves.
- Terms of Service (TOS): Sets guidelines for users of your website or application.
Small legal steps today can prevent big problems tomorrow.
