Founder Control · Equity Clarity
Founder Agreement and Cap Table Management
Document founder roles, equity, vesting, exits, IP ownership and cap table changes before ambiguity becomes conflict.
Why founder documentation matters
Founder roles, equity, vesting, exits and IP ownership should be clear before ambiguity becomes a relationship problem.
Founder disputes rarely start as legal disputes. They start as unclear expectations: who owns what, who contributes what, what happens if someone leaves and whether IP belongs to the company.
- Founder agreement
- Cap table hygiene
- IP and exit rules
What BSA handles
Clear deliverables, founder-readable advice and execution support.
Connected workflow
From first brief to maintained records.
Each step is designed to connect with the next one, so the page reads the way the service should run: understand the facts, prepare the documents, execute correctly and leave the company with a clean record.
1
Founder conversation
We identify expectations, contributions, sensitivities and future funding plans.
2
Draft terms
Founder agreement and supporting documents are structured.
3
Approve and sign
Execution is coordinated with board/shareholder records where required.
4
Maintain cap table
Changes are tracked through grants, transfers, investments and exits.
Founder and cap table records
What founders should keep ready before documenting founder terms or cap table changes.
BSA reviews the founder file with both relationship and diligence risk in mind. If current cap table data, old promises, IP details, draft terms, transfer records or founder approvals are missing, BSA helps prepare a clean base before documentation starts.
Current cap table
Founder IDs
Existing agreements
IP details
Funding or ESOP plans
Risks to avoid
The expensive mistakes usually happen before anyone calls them legal issues.
These are the gaps BSA looks for early, because they tend to appear later in bank reviews, investor diligence, statutory notices, founder disputes or transaction closing.
No vesting
No IP assignment
Dead equity
Verbal founder promises
Founder questions
Quick answers before you start.
Do co-founders need an agreement if they trust each other?
Yes. A good agreement protects the relationship by making expectations explicit before stress arrives.
Should vesting apply to founders?
Often yes, especially where investor funding or long-term contribution risk exists.
