What is an investment agreement?

An investment agreement governs the terms when an investor adds capital to a limited company, usually through a new share issue. It sets out valuation, ownership stake and rights.

 

Investment agreement and cap table

The agreement often goes hand in hand with a shareholders' agreement and affects the company's cap table. For startups it is important that ownership after the investment is reflected correctly in the share ledger.
