Case: Developed an investment agreement to launch a chain of beauty salons
Project Summary
Our law firm was approached by a Client — a private investor who decided to invest in launching a chain of beauty salons in Lviv and Kyiv. The business was to be launched in partnership with a female entrepreneur who already owned one salon and had relevant experience.
Legal Task
To draft an investment agreement that:
- guarantees return of funds in case the project fails;
- protects the investor from non-transparent use of funds;
- provides for profit distribution;
- defines clear stages of financing and launching each salon;
- allows exit from the business with compensation for the investor’s share.
We prepared:
An investment agreement with phased contributions (upon opening of each salon);
Annexes with the budget, expense plan, and KPIs, upon reaching which the next tranche is provided;
Terms for registering an LLC with a 60/40 share distribution;
Exit provisions for the investor: if financial targets are not met, the partner buys out the share at a fixed price.
Result:
The agreement was signed. Two salons are already open — in Lviv and Kyiv. The investor controls fund usage and receives regular reports.
The parties operate within clearly defined terms — with no conflicts or risk of losses.
