Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation.  Pre-incorporation agreements are less risky, as a rule, for promoters because courts recognize the high risk and ambiguous state of these emerging enterprises.  These documents can serve to protect subscribers’ interests by writing in various clauses such as anti-dilution stock agreements (e.g., stock can not be diluted until an IPO, is a standard such clause), compensation limitations, percentage share ownership, and the like.
