Shareholding agreement for the Gambia: what and why
A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in the Gambia usually ask for a legalised shareholding agreement for foreign subsidiary or branch registration, beneficial ownership checks by banks or joint venture approvals.
A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of the Gambia in New Delhi.
