The article shows the most commonly used contractual clauses and it recommends young businesses to use lawyers support while negotiating with investors. It also presents the advantages and disadvantages of introducing the PE investor to the company, which on the one hand is a restriction on the freedom of action for business owners and originators but on the other hand, in the absence of creditworthiness, this is often the only chance to raise capital, develop and survive.
