if you are looking to start your own company, our lawyers are here to help you incorporate your business. We can also assist you with the drafting of a shareholder agreement that clearly delineates the rights, rules, and obligations of the parties involved in the business. 

corporate share structure design

When you incorporate your business, you also have to file the articles of incorporation with the government. Within the articles of incorporation, you would have to specify how the corporation plans to organize the privileges, obligations, and rights of its shareholders. For example, the share structure should address how many classes of shares there will be. If more than one class is specified, then the privileges, restrictions, and conditions attached to each class have to be addressed as well.
