FAQ
What is a "Vesting Schedule"?
Vesting means founders earn their shares over time. This prevents a partner from leaving on day one and keeping half the company.
What is a "Cliff"?
A cliff (usually 1 year) means no equity is earned until the partner has stayed with the company for a full 12 months.
Do investors look at these documents?
Yes. Venture capitalists and angel investors will review your ownership agreements during due diligence. They must be drafted professionally.
Can you help with 50/50 ownership structures?
Yes, though 50/50 splits require careful deadlock clauses so the business can still function if partners disagree.
Do you give tax advice regarding equity?
No. As an attorney, I handle the legal corporate structuring. You should consult a CPA for the tax implications of issuing shares.
