Description

Pre-Incorporation Agreements (or Pre-Incorporation Contracts)establish the operations, management, and define who will have control prior to the initial corporate meeting. In addition to the pre-incorporation agreement, many business owners draft a shareholders agreement and a confidentiality agreement. A Massachusetts PRE Incorporation Agreement is a legal document that outlines the intentions and terms of a business venture prior to its incorporation. This agreement serves as a preliminary contract between the founders, clearly defining their roles, responsibilities, and the terms of operation, in order to establish a solid foundation for the future corporation. In Massachusetts, there are two common types of PRE Incorporation Agreements: 1. PRE Incorporation Stock Subscription Agreement: This type of agreement sets out the terms and conditions for individuals or entities subscribing to shares of stock in the future corporation. It establishes the number of shares each subscriber will purchase, the purchase price, payment schedule, and any other agreed-upon terms related to the stock issuance. The agreement also addresses how the subscriber's ownership and voting rights will be structured and any restrictions or transfer limitations. 2. PRE Incorporation Business Agreement: This agreement focuses on outlining and detailing the business aspects and operations of the future corporation. It covers various aspects such as the proposed business activities, the company's mission and objectives, the capital contribution required from each founder, the ownership percentages and distribution of profits or losses, management structures, decision-making processes, and mechanisms for dispute resolution. It may also address specific industry-related concerns, regulatory requirements, licensing agreements, or intellectual property matters. Both types of PRE Incorporation Agreement ensure that all parties involved have a clear understanding of their obligations, rights, and liabilities, thereby helping to minimize conflicts and legal disputes that could arise during the future corporation's formation and operation. These agreements serve as a fundamental step towards incorporating a business in Massachusetts, enabling founders to establish a solid framework and avoid potential misunderstandings as they move forward in their entrepreneurial journey.
