In this episode, Joanna Oakey and guest Simon Bedard, Founder and CEO of Exit Advisory Group, continue their discussion on Shareholder Agreements and the critical role they play in business - particularly businesses in the SME space.

They emphasise the dangers of relying on templates and some of the things you’ll want to cover when working with a commercial lawyer to ensure the agreement is structured appropriately. This episode highlights the significance of timing and early drafting of Shareholder Agreements to minimise future issues, along with keyman insurance and the role it can play in navigating this tricky area of business. 

This episode shares insights on navigating disagreements, exits, and what we think are some best practices in Shareholder Agreements.
