Deal terms, term sheet and a draft for your lawyer
An investor agreement sets out the terms on which an investor comes into a project: amount and instrument, stake and valuation, use of funds, milestones, rights and obligations, governance, profit distribution, exit and dispute resolution. We prepare the commercial terms and the structure — a term sheet and a draft for your lawyer — and support you in negotiations. The legal drafting and signing are handled by your lawyer.
While arrangements are verbal, each side remembers them differently. The agreement makes the relationship clear: who contributes what, who decides what, how profit is shared and what happens if things go off plan. For the founder it protects control of the project; for the investor it gives clear rights and reporting.
What an agreement usually covers
The costliest mistakes in an agreement are not legal wording but economics: a valuation that is too low, a stake that gets diluted in the next round, milestones the project cannot hit in time, investor rights that block decisions. That is our area.

We came to Finetic Consulting for a business plan and financial model for our project IMSKIPPER.NET. We liked how quickly Vladislav prepares documents and how deeply he works them through. It is comfortable to work together: every question can be discussed at online meetings while the work is in progress.Georgy Im, owner of IMSKIPPER · Translated from Russian.
15–30 minutes: where you are in talks with the investor and what has been agreed. We quote the price after the call.
It is a document that sets out the terms on which an investor enters a project: amount and instrument, stake and valuation, use of funds, milestones, the parties’ rights and obligations, governance, profit distribution, exit and dispute resolution.
A short document with the key deal terms — amount, valuation, stake, instrument, investor rights, milestones. It is agreed before the legal agreement so that lawyers draft terms that are already settled.
Yes. We prepare the deal economics and structure, the term sheet and a draft for the lawyer. Legal drafting, compliance with the law and signing are handled by a lawyer.
It depends on the complexity of the deal and the stage of negotiations: from reviewing the terms an investor has sent to support until signing. We quote the price after the introductory call.
In a given deal, for whoever hired us. For investors we work on their side: project review and deal structure.
