GET A BUSINESS/CORPORATE LAWYER TO REVIEW YOUR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS

Anyone who tells you not to involve a Lawyer because “Lawyers are expensive” does not truly care about you. The money you think you are saving today may cost you your entire business tomorrow.

No matter how small the investment looks, always have your own Business/Corporate Lawyer. Never rely on the other party’s Lawyer. His loyalty is not to you.

At Apex Chambers, we recently reviewed a one-sided investor funding Agreement. An investor offered a business a loan of 20 Million Naira and demanded 50% ownership of the company. It was accepted.

The two founders were left to share the remaining 50%. Just imagine. These entrepreneurs now work for the investor, and when the business grows they still have to repay the loan while the investor keeps 50% of the company for life. This is not an investment. This is exploitation.

This could have been avoided. With the guidance of an experienced Business/Corporate Lawyer, they could have negotiated better terms, raised capital without sacrificing half their company or simply walked away.

Let your own Lawyer review your Contracts/Agreements before you sign.

Understand that not all money is good money. Sometimes the smartest move is to say no.

Your business is your birthright. Do not sell it for a plate of porridge.
