Requirement

Incorporation and Founders Agreement

Establish the legal entity under which you will conduct business and a founders' agreement: a legally binding contract, usually in writing, that outlines the roles, rights, and responsibilities of each owner in a business. It is designed to protect each founder's interests, set expectations, and to prevent conflict down the line.
A legal entity is needed for many transactions. It is important for a company’s founders to have an agreement among themselves even before creating an entity. Founders’ agreements are the product of conversations that should take place among a company’s founders at the early stages of formation rather than later in the life of a company.
There are many templates available, including free ones. However, if possible, it is always good to have a lawyer familiar with start-ups give you some (free?) advice.
