Starting a company with other people and not sure how to write down who owns what? Worried about what happens if a co-founder wants out, or if you disagree on a big decision? Do you need a shareholder agreement but cannot face a blank page or a lawyer's hourly rate just to get a first draft?
Short answer: The AI Shareholder Agreement Writer builds a plain, structured first draft of a shareholder agreement from your own facts. You describe the company, the owners, and the rules you want, pick a jurisdiction and a few settings, and it returns a clause-by-clause document you can refine and take to a lawyer.
What is AI Shareholder Agreement Writer?
The AI Shareholder Agreement Writer is a free tool on AIToolsay that turns a description of your company into a draft shareholder agreement. You tell it who the owners are, how shares are split, and what you want to happen when things change. It writes back a document with numbered clauses, defined terms, and the headings a real agreement usually carries.
A shareholder agreement sets the rules between the people who own a company. It covers voting, selling shares, dividends, and what happens if an owner leaves or dies. The AI Shareholder Agreement Writer gives you a starting structure for all of that, so you are editing real text instead of staring at nothing.
These are some of the clauses a draft can include:
| Clause | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Vesting | How an owner earns shares over time |
| Right of first refusal | Existing owners get first chance to buy shares for sale |
| Tag-along and drag-along | How minority owners join or are carried in a sale |
| Deadlock resolution | What happens when owners cannot agree |
Read this first The output is a starting draft, not legal advice. A qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction should review and adapt it before anyone signs. Company and shareholder rules vary by state and country, and the AI Shareholder Agreement Writer cannot guarantee that a draft is valid or enforceable where you live.
Why Use AI Shareholder Agreement Writer?
Most founders put this document off. It feels expensive and complicated, so people rely on a handshake until a dispute forces the issue. The AI Shareholder Agreement Writer lowers the barrier to that first draft.
Here is what you get from it:
- A full skeleton with the clauses a shareholder agreement usually needs, so nothing obvious gets missed.
- Plain wording you can actually read, instead of dense boilerplate you have to decode.
- A faster starting point for the conversation with your co-founders and your lawyer.
- Room to set jurisdiction, duration, governing law, and enforcement to match your situation.
The honest limitation: it does not know the specific company law where you are registered, and it has not read your cap table or your articles. Treat it as a well-organised first draft, not a finished contract.
Who Should Use It?
- Co-founders splitting equity who want the rules written down early.
- Small companies bringing in a new investor or a family member as a shareholder.
- Founders preparing for a lawyer meeting who want a draft to react to.
- Anyone who needs to understand what a shareholder agreement even contains before paying for one.
How Does AI Shareholder Agreement Writer Work?
The tool runs on the standard AIToolsay working surface, so the flow is short.
- Prompt input area. Describe the company, the owners, the share split, and the rules you want. The more facts you give, the closer the draft lands.
- AI model selector. Pick the engine first. You can choose MSB AI, OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude AI, xAI Grok AI, DeepSeek, Qwen, Meta AI, NVIDIA AI, OpenRouter AI, or MiniMax.
- Advanced options accordion. Open it to set Jurisdiction, Duration, Governing Law, and Enforcement. Every option is covered below.
- Generate button. This sends your facts through the tool's built-in instructions, which tell the model to act as a careful drafter of a shareholder agreement.
- Output card. The draft appears with a live word count in the footer, so you can see how long it runs.
- Export and per-result actions. Download as DOC, TXT, or HTML, or use Copy, Listen, Reuse, and Download on the result itself.
- Activity history panel. Earlier drafts from this session sit below, so you can reopen a version and compare two sets of rules side by side.
Key Features
Clause-by-clause draft
You get numbered sections and defined terms, not a vague summary of what an agreement should say.
Set the ground rules
Jurisdiction, duration, governing law, and enforcement all steer the wording of the draft.
Model choice
Switch between several AI models to find the tone and depth of drafting you prefer.
Export anywhere
Save the draft as DOC, TXT, or HTML, ready to hand to a lawyer or a co-founder.
Compare versions
The session history keeps earlier drafts, so you can weigh two approaches before you decide.
Honest framing
The draft is a starting point for review, never a claim of legal validity.
Setting Jurisdiction, Duration, Governing Law, And Enforcement
These four dropdowns shape how the AI Shareholder Agreement Writer frames your draft. Set them to match your company before you generate.
| Option | What it controls | When to change it | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | The region whose legal conventions the draft follows, from US and UK to EU, Canada, Australia, India, UAE, Singapore, or Global | Whenever your company is registered outside the default | US, matching where the company is incorporated |
| Duration | The term of the agreement, from 6 months through to Perpetual | For a fixed-term arrangement rather than an open one | Perpetual, since most shareholder agreements run until the owners change them |
| Governing Law | Which body of law is named to interpret the document: State-specific, Federal, EU Regulations, International Arbitration, or Custom | When the shareholders sit in different places | State-specific, matched to where the company is registered |
| Enforcement | How strict the obligations and remedies read: Strict, Standard, Relaxed, or With Cure Period | When you want stricter or lighter language on disputes | Standard, then tighten with your lawyer where the stakes are high |
Below the dropdowns sit four on/off toggles and a slider. Include Signature Blocks adds signing lines for each owner, Include Recitals opens the document with the background "whereas" clauses, Include Force Majeure Clause covers events beyond either side's control, and Include Governing Law Clause states the applicable law inside the agreement itself. The Legal Detail slider runs from 1 to 100 and sets how thorough the drafting reads, while the Custom Instructions box lets you name the parties and their roles, the subject matter, the key terms, and the effective date. Leave the four toggles on for a complete draft and keep Legal Detail near the middle for a balanced result.
Tip Match Jurisdiction and Governing Law to the same place unless you have a clear reason to split them. Mixing them without advice can create a document that reads well but works badly.
Best Use Cases
- Drafting the first version of a founders' agreement before equity is finalised.
- Preparing a document to discuss with a lawyer, so the meeting starts further along.
- Learning which clauses a shareholder agreement contains and why each one matters.
- Comparing a stricter enforcement draft against a lighter one before you choose.
Example Input
Here is the shape of a prompt that gives the tool enough to work with:
Company: a two-founder software startup, equal 50/50 shares.
Include vesting over four years, a right of first refusal on share sales,
tag-along rights, and a deadlock resolution clause.
Model: Anthropic Claude AI
Jurisdiction: home country of the company
Duration: ongoing
Enforcement: standardFeed it that much and the AI Shareholder Agreement Writer can produce a structured draft with each of those clauses in place.
Tips and Common Mistakes
What works well
- Name the exact clauses you want, such as vesting, drag-along, or pre-emption rights.
- State the share split and the number of owners clearly.
- Set Jurisdiction to your real place of registration.
- Generate two drafts and compare enforcement styles.
What to watch for
- Signing the draft as-is without a lawyer's review.
- Leaving the facts vague, which produces generic clauses.
- Assuming the draft reflects your local company law.
- Forgetting that your articles of association must line up with it.
Run through this checklist before you generate:
- ✅ Owners and share split described in the prompt
- ✅ The specific clauses you need are named
- ✅ Jurisdiction and Governing Law set to your registration
- ✅ A lawyer lined up to review the finished draft
