6 months ago
What kind of agreement is required to be a beneficial owner of a business and invest through third person. So that later that third person doesn't comit fraud.
A.Dear Client,
In India, if you want to invest in a business through a third person, it's important to have a legally binding agreement in place to protect your interests and ensure that the third person does not commit fraud. You can grant a Power of Attorney to the third person, giving them the authority to act on your behalf in matters related to the business. This document should clearly outline the scope of their authority and any limitations. Draft a comprehensive investment agreement that specifies the terms and conditions of your investment. This agreement should include details such as the amount of investment, ownership stakes, profit-sharing arrangements, exit strategies, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Before investing, conduct thorough due diligence on the business and the third person you are entrusting with your investment. Verify their credentials, financial stability, and business track record. Define a clear exit strategy in your agreement, including provisions for selling your stake in the business or transferring ownership if necessary. Maintain thorough records of all transactions, agreements, and communication related to your investment.

A.Dear Client,
A beneficial owner is a natural person or persons who ultimately owns or controls an interest in a legal entity or arrangement, such as a company, a trust, a partnership [ firm or a foundation. A registered owner or record holder holds shares directly with the company. A beneficial owner holds shares indirectly, through a bank or broker-dealer. As required under Sec.90 of the Companies Act, 2013, each and every person who, acting alone or through one or more trusts, holds a beneficial interest of at least 25% in a Company is required to submit a declaration to the company outlining his interest and other information. In a partnership firm that is governed by the Partnership Act, 1932, a partner who does not participate in the daily functioning of the partnership firm, i.e. does not take an active part in the daily activities of the firm is known as a Sleeping Partner or silent partner provides their contribution. In return, they secure equity or partial ownership of your business (reflected in a percentage, e.g. 20% of your business). The silent or sleeping partner steps back and lets you run the business. Once your business turns a profit, the silent partner receives 20% of the net profit. The advantages of being a silent partner include less responsibility and effortless investing, while the disadvantages are legal risk, financial risk, and zero influence in the activities of the business in which you partner. Active or managing partners can claim a salary for handling day-to-day business activities in addition to the share in profits in proportion to the investment. The other partners including the sleeping partner get sharing profits in proportion to the investment. In view of the above-stated status of a beneficial owner in a business, you may consider one that suits you most and ensures your safety while investing through a third party as s beneficial owner.
