Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA)
When multiple investors or founders hold shares in a company, clarity and protection become essential. A Shareholders’ Agreement (SHA) sets the rules for ownership rights, voting powers, profit distribution, exits, dispute resolution, and corporate decision-making. It ensures that every shareholder—big or small—is protected and aware of their rights and obligations. At Aarthika Globcorp, we help companies draft transparent, legally compliant, and investor-friendly SHAs that prevent disputes, protect investments, and align with long-term business goals. Whether you’re onboarding a new investor, raising capital, or restructuring ownership, a strong SHA keeps the company stable and future-ready.
