Labour, loans, advice, guarantees, and investment should be separated from share ownership and control.

Common Questions
Business formation questions Castlemore clients often ask.
Should Castlemore family businesses use shareholder agreements?
Yes, where more than one person owns or expects to own the business. Written terms can protect both the business and the relationship.
Is helping in a business the same as owning it?
Not necessarily. Ownership should be confirmed by shares, records, agreements, and clear terms.
What should be decided before issuing shares?
Contributions, voting, restrictions, exits, transfers, compensation, financing, and dispute handling should be reviewed.
