Frequently asked questions

Does this package cover due diligence?

No. Due diligence is an investor-driven process. This package covers only the legal documentation for the share issuance itself. If the investor requires a data room or disclosure schedule, contact us for a custom quote.

Is a shareholders' agreement update included?

If you already have a shareholders' agreement, we will review it and advise on whether it needs to be amended for the new investor. An amendment is a separate engagement quoted on request.

What is the difference between a share subscription and a SAFE?

A share subscription issues shares immediately at a set price. A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a contractual right to shares at a future valuation event. We can draft either — you choose the structure.

Does the package cover BEE or B-BBEE structuring?

No. BEE structuring is a specialist engagement. This package focuses on the corporate law mechanics of the share issuance.
