Since I drafted this template, I am well placed to advise if you have any issues. I can also help you work through all the requirements for adding a new Shareholder where a company already has an existing Shareholders Agreement and wants a new Shareholder to sign up to the Agreement. Indeed, the Agreement probably says you can only add a new Shareholder if they do!

I've advised on all sorts of company matters including capital raising and I welcome the opportunity to help you.
