The Company Agreement serves as the foundational document for businesses operating in the Netherlands, establishing the legal and operational framework under Dutch corporate law. This document is typically used when establishing a new company, restructuring an existing one, or formalizing relationships between shareholders. The Company Agreement includes crucial provisions regarding corporate governance, share capital, management structure, shareholder rights and obligations, and decision-making processes. It must comply with the Dutch Civil Code (particularly Book 2) and relevant corporate legislation while being adaptable to specific business needs. The agreement is essential for both private and public companies, though its contents may vary depending on company size, industry, and shareholding structure.
