App development negotiation
Don’t bin it Ltd
I approached Gannons as I was developing an app to help people find places where they could recycle different types of products locally to them.I had an outline specification for what was needed and was in discussion with a developer who had supplied its “standard” development agreement. The app was core to my business so I thought it worth taking the time and spending the money to find out what I was signing up to. I am pleased I asked for a review as what was uncovered was not something the untrained eye could have spotted. The review was a very good move as I explain below.
Gannons reviewed the app development agreement to see if there were any pitfalls.
The team picked out and resolved the following problem areas. I was surprised at what looked innocuous led to potentially bad business.
Friends and family were helping me with the costs of development of the app and the business venture so, in return for their investment I agreed to issue them with shares in my Company.
Gannons have obviously dealt with many situations similar to mine and knew exactly what I needed. They drew up a Shareholders’ Agreement which protected the investment and protected the Company.
It would have been very disruptive if a shareholder had been able to take out his investment or sell to someone we didn’t know in the early years when we most needed the funds. The Shareholders’ Agreement put a stop to that and put in breaks around how much control and influence the shareholders had.
I am pleased to say everything is going well. It is easy working with Gannons: they know that what a client needs is more than just identifying the problem; what a client actually needs is the solution and this is what they gave me.
