Before filing documents with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies (RJSC), founders must formalize their commercial relationship.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <pee>Without a Founders Agreement, the default provisions of the Companies Act 1994 apply. This leaves startups highly vulnerable to “dead equity” (where a departing founder walks away with a massive chunk of shares permanently) and makes the company un-investable to venture capitalists due to Intellectual Property (IP) chain-of-title risks.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-tip\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> <strong>LegalSeba LLP Insight:<\/strong> <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --> Under Section 27 of the Contract Act 1872 of Bangladesh, blanket post-termination “Non-Compete” clauses are largely void.
