The document that governs how shareholders run the company and deal with their shares — board rights, reserved matters, ROFR, tag & drag. Generate a free starting draft.
A Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA) governs the ongoing relationship between a company’s shareholders — how the board is composed, which decisions need special approval (reserved matters), and how shares can be transferred (ROFR, tag-along, drag-along). It’s signed alongside the SSA in a funding round.
SHAs are among the most negotiated startup documents — this generator gives a skeleton to understand the structure; get professional drafting for the real thing.

It governs how shareholders run the company (board, reserved matters, information rights) and how they deal with their shares (ROFR, tag-along, drag-along) — protecting both founders and investors.
Key decisions that need special approval (often the investor’s) — like issuing new shares, large borrowings, or related-party transactions. They give investors protection over major moves.
Tag-along lets minority shareholders join a majority sale on the same terms; drag-along lets an approved sale compel dissenters to sell too. Both smooth exits.
No — it’s a simplified skeleton to explain the structure. A real SHA is heavily negotiated and must be professionally drafted. We can help.
