Why Every Business Big or Small Should Take Advantage of Shareholder Agreements.
One of the worst things that can happen to a company is to have a minority shareholder who is unhappy with how the company is being run and no way to force him to sell his shares back to the company at a fair price. This situation can foster a devastating lawsuit by an unhappy investor.

Lesson #1: Employees are the Engine of Your Company
“I always felt that our people came first,” says Kelleher. “Some of the business schools regarded that as a conundrum. They would say: Which comes first, your people, your customers, or your shareholders? And I would say, it's not a conundrum. Your people come first, and if you treat them right, they'll treat the customers right, and the customers will come back, and that'll make the shareholders happy.”

Sample Non Disclosure Agreement
An intermediary should always sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It is a 1 to 5 page document that acknowledges you have sensitive information that if released could harm your business and it should not be shared. Venture capitalists, however, will not normally sign a confidentiality agreement. They see so many companies in the same industry that they cannot sign one agreement and risk not being able to invest in other potential good deals.
The Dominican Corporation
The most common business entity in the Dominican Republic is the corporation, locally called “Sociedad Anónima” (S.A.) or “Compañía por Acciones” (C. por A.). As corporations in other countries, Dominican corporations are legal persons which exist independently of its shareholders. Likewise, the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their contribution to the corporation. The Dominican Commercial Code provides for the existence of other business entities such as partnerships (“sociedad en nombre colectivo”), limited partnerships(“sociedadesencomandita”)and joint ventures (“sociedades en participación”). These structures, however, are seldom used because they are subject to the same tax treatment as corporations while lacking its limited liability component.

What exactly is a Business Purchase Letter of Intent or LOI?
What exactly is a Business Purchase Letter of Intent or LOI? This seems like a very scary document but actually it's not. Technically, a business purchase letter of intent is really a non-binding agreement that says "I would like to buy your business for an asking price of $XXXX with contingency stipulations A, B, and C but first I want to take a closer look at your business". Again, it seems complicated but it's really a very simple semi-legal looking document that gets the ball rolling. So let's take a look aT this very important document that protects the buyer while spelling out due diligence items, the initial offer and many of the details that will eventually be part of the final purchase agreement.

The Holy Grail of providing Shareholder Value
In the world of the listed companies, that is those listed on various stock exchanges, the term shareholder value tends to take on disproportionate significance. All eyes are constantly focused on ensuring that shareholders are kept smiling. It doesn’t take much to realise that this means that the company is gutted and robbed of all value to ensure that shareholders receive their return and more. If one doubted the validity of this statement it shouldn’t take long to cast ones eyes around and see how many large companies went belly-up or close to it in this recession. Whole industries took a nose dive.
