Issuing shares without the right board approval and documentation can leave ownership legally unclear, which becomes a serious problem the moment there's a dispute or a future investor asks for proof. World Trademarks Counsel documents every issuance correctly, so ownership is never in question.
Document My IssuanceIssuing shares to investors, even informally, can trigger securities law requirements you're not aware of until it's a compliance problem. World Trademarks Counsel structures issuances to fit applicable exemptions, so a private raise doesn't turn into a regulatory issue.
Check My Securities Compliance
Founder shares, investor rounds, and employee equity grants each require different documentation and approval steps. We prepare the specific paperwork your issuance actually needs, rather than a generic template.
