About this Gig
Most UK startups fail not because of the product, but because of founder disputes. Before you build your product or pitch to investors, you must legally define who owns what, who does what, and what happens if someone walks away.
As a licensed UK Solicitor (SRA ID 646929), I provide startups with professional Founders Agreements that protect the company's future and provide investors with the legal confidence they require to fund you.
Your bespoke agreement will include:
- Clear division of equity and capital contributions.
- Strict Intellectual Property (IP) assignment to the company.
- Statutory and practical Director Duties (Standard/Premium).
- Vesting schedules (preventing a founder from leaving with 50% on day one).
- Time commitments and restrictive covenants (non-compete).
Do not rely on handshake agreements. Secure your startups foundation with professional legal drafting.
Choose your package and submit your requirements to begin.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and a Shareholders Agreement?
A founders agreement is usually signed at the very beginning of a startup to assign IP and roles. A shareholders agreement is often more complex and adopted when external investors arrive.
Does this contract assign IP to the company?
Yes, this is a critical inclusion. It ensures the company, not the individual founders, owns the ideas, code, and branding.
Why do I need director duties outlined?
Under the Companies Act 2006, directors have strict legal obligations. Outlining them prevents negligence and ensures all founders are pulling their weight.
How many founders does this cover?
The packages cover up to 4 co-founders. If you have more, we can accommodate via a custom extra.
Do investors ask to see this document?
Yes. Serious angel investors and VCs will request to see your Founders Agreement and IP assignments during due diligence.
