Smart articles of association. Ready for growth and investors.
Articles of association that are not only right today, but grow with co-founders, option plans and investment rounds, without a costly revision later.
- Multiple share classes
- Pre-emption rights
- Drag-along & tag-along
- Option-pool-ready
Many cheap incorporations come with generic articles of association. They lack provisions for share classes, pre-emption rights or option pools, and have to be amended anyway as soon as you bring in an investor. That costs €499 plus legal fees.
Our standard articles of association are prepared from the start for the situations founders run into later. You start clean, and build on without having to go back to the notary for the basics.
What's included.
Multiple share classes
Ordinary and preference shares, ready for a later round, without a full revision of the articles.
Pre-emption rights built in
Existing shareholders get pre-emption rights on new issues by default, so dilution stays manageable.
Drag-along and tag-along
On an exit, the majority can drag the minority along, and the minority is protected against being left out.
Room for an option pool
An option pool can be reserved at incorporation, so you don't have to improvise one pre-money under pressure from an investor.
Step by step.
Standard, set up smartly
You start with articles of association that already support the most common growth situations.
Choose what fits
During incorporation you choose which provisions to activate: vesting, option pool, share classes.
Amend only when needed
Because the foundation is already in place, an issue of shares is often enough later instead of a full amendment of the articles.
Frequently asked questions.
01Can I add share classes later?
Yes. Because the articles of association are prepared for it, often only an issue of a new class is needed, not a full revision.
02What does an amendment to the articles cost?
€499 for a notarial amendment to the articles of association, for example adding a share class or changing veto rights.
03Are these articles suitable for investors?
Yes. They support multiple share classes, pre-emption rights and the anti-dilution provisions investors expect.
