Who really controls your company once outside investors hold shares? What stops a minority owner from being pushed out, or a major shareholder from selling to a stranger? These questions decide the future of a business, and the Shareholder Agreement Writer helps you answer them in a clear written contract before the shares change hands.
Short answer: The Shareholder Agreement Writer runs free on EizTools and drafts a shareholder agreement for your company, setting out ownership, voting rights, share transfers, dividends and dispute rules, ready for you to review and finalise with a lawyer.
What is Shareholder Agreement Writer?
The Shareholder Agreement Writer is an online tool that produces a formal agreement between the shareholders of a company. You describe the owners, their shareholdings and how the company is governed, and it returns a structured draft with numbered clauses you can edit and export.
A shareholder agreement sits alongside a company's articles and governs how the owners deal with each other. It covers who can sell shares and to whom, how new investment is handled, how directors are appointed, how dividends are decided and what happens when a shareholder dies or wants out. It is the document that protects both majority and minority owners when interests start to pull in different directions. This tool gives you a working first draft instead of a costly blank slate.
How Does Shareholder Agreement Writer Work?
The tool uses the standard EizTools workspace, so the flow is quick. Type your company and shareholder details into the prompt box, set an engine from the model list, open the advanced panel to shape the document, then press generate. The draft appears in the result card with the model that produced it named above. Share it so every holder reads the same wording, and the list under the result keeps each version while the transfer restrictions are still being negotiated.
The advanced panel decides how the agreement reads. The settings that move the output most are below:
| Option | What it shapes | Suggested start |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | The legal style the wording follows | Your company's country |
| Governing Law | Which law governs the agreement | State-specific |
| Enforcement | How strict the remedy language is | Standard |
| Legal Detail | How thorough the clauses are | Around 65% |
You can also set a Duration and toggle on recitals, signature blocks, a force majeure clause and a governing law clause. The real content goes in Custom Instructions:
- Each shareholder's name and percentage
- Board makeup and who appoints directors
- Transfer restrictions such as a right of first refusal
- How dividends are declared and paid
What It Covers
Ownership and Voting
Records each holder's share and voting weight so control of the company is clear from day one.
Share Transfers
Sets rules for selling shares, including right of first refusal, so no owner is surprised by a new partner.
Minority Protection
Adds terms that stop smaller shareholders from being outvoted on the decisions that matter most.
Exit Terms
Defines what happens when a shareholder leaves, dies or is bought out, keeping ownership stable.
Important: This draft is a starting point, not filed legal advice. Company law varies by country, so have a qualified solicitor or attorney review the agreement before anyone signs.
Best Use Cases
The Shareholder Agreement Writer fits any company where more than one person holds shares. Here is who reaches for it and why:
| Situation | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Startup taking first investors | Sets clear terms before outside money arrives |
| Two founders splitting equity | Records the split and decision rules in writing |
| Bringing in an angel investor | Defines their rights, share and exit path |
| Family company with several owners | Prevents disputes when shares pass between relatives |
Each EizTools tool is built for one document and carries the settings that document needs, at no cost and with no login. Choose an engine, describe your ownership setup, and the formatted draft follows quickly. When the board needs to record a formal decision, the Board Resolution Writer handles that document, and the business tools category holds the wider set of contracts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Shareholder Agreement Writer free?
Yes. It costs nothing and never meters you, so the agreement can be redrafted each time ownership shifts.
What is the difference from a partnership agreement?
A shareholder agreement governs owners of a company with shares, while a partnership agreement governs partners in a firm without shares. Pick the one that matches your legal structure.
Can it add a right of first refusal?
Yes. Ask for it in the Custom Instructions box, and the draft will include a clause requiring shares to be offered to existing shareholders before any outside sale.
Does it protect minority shareholders?
It can. State that you want minority protection in Custom Instructions, and the draft can add reserved matters that need broad approval, not just a simple majority.
Shares turn a business into shared property, and shared property needs clear rules to stay peaceful. A shareholder agreement written early spares owners the expensive disputes that arise when nothing was agreed in advance.
