What is a Share Contribution Agreement?
A share contribution agreement is a legal document that lays out the conditions of transferring an asset from one person to another. Small businesses, for example, often use this type of agreement to allocate funds to a retirement account or to fund a large donation. The agreement contains information about the framework of the action and includes details about how much money is involved and what its intended purpose is. The purpose of the agreement is to ensure that there is valid documentation to back up the transferring of assets.
