FairShares Rules Generator

FairShares Rules Generators produce rules that can be used to incorporate under each of the legal forms. Each constitution also includes clauses about branding based on whether three or four of the primary stakeholder groups are enfranchised. The number of stakeholders is determined by qualifying contributions that are set after incorporation by members in General Meeting. The qualifying contributions for Founders and Investors are straightforward. Founders qualify through activities to establish and/or incorporating the enterprise. If a person signs the papers that bring the enterprise into existence, they are a Founder member. Investors can qualify in two ways (in companies and cooperatives): firstly, by generating financial surpluses (through work / trading activities) or by directly investing financial capital (through share purchases). To claim FairShares status (and use FairShares branding), however, additional qualifying contributions for Labour and/or User membership need to be agreed.
