FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my company need a privacy policy?

Usually yes if it collects personal data. The policy must reflect actual practice and comply with the Personal Data Protection Law.

Who owns code written by a freelance developer?

The contract decides. Without a clear transfer of ownership the rights may stay with the developer, so it should be stated expressly.

What should be ready before an investment round?

Constitutional documents, the share register, staff and developer contracts, IP records and key contracts, to reduce diligence questions.
