Document background
The Equity Split Agreement is a fundamental document used when establishing or restructuring ownership in a Singapore business entity. It becomes necessary when multiple parties are involved in ownership, whether through initial business formation, investment rounds, or employee equity programs. This agreement, governed by Singapore law, provides clarity on ownership percentages, rights, and obligations of each shareholder, helping prevent future disputes and establishing clear governance structures. It typically includes details about share classes, voting rights, transfer restrictions, and exit provisions, making it essential for startups, joint ventures, and established businesses alike.
