• Private Limited Company
Running a business alone is not always easy, especially when you need more capital and skilled human resource to run your business. In such a case, you can join hands with one or more persons to register a private limited company. At least two persons are required to act as directors in a private limited company while only one of them can act as the chief operating officer.

2. Shareholding Agreement
A shareholders’ agreement, also called a stockholders’ agreement, is an arrangement among shareholders that describes how a company should be operated and outlines shareholders’ rights and obligations. The agreement also includes information on the management of the company and privileges and protection of shareholders.
It is recommended that a corporation have a Shareholder Agreement in place before it commences its business operations, regardless of the size of the company. That way, companies can be sure all of the shareholders are in agreement and understand their rights and obligations to the company.

3. Founders Agreement
A founders agreement is a contract between the founders that governs their business relationships. The Agreement lays out the rights, responsibilities, liabilities, and obligations of each founder and safeguards against potential disputes.
It is important to have a carefully drafted founders agreement to avoid future problems and disputes.
