When co-founders live in different places, a structure that suits one of them can cause friction for another. The decision question is where the company sits and how ownership and control are arranged so that no single founder's location silently dictates the rest.
Where a founder lives affects what they can sign, how income reaches them and what reporting touches them personally. A structure chosen only by looking at the most convenient founder may leave another with obligations they did not expect. The assessment starts by mapping each person separately before looking for a shared answer.
One person runs the business day to day in a single place, the other contributes from abroad. The question is how the remote founder's role, rights and payment are documented so it matches how the structure will be seen from outside.
Each founder sells in their own country. The company may need a presence near more than one customer base, or a single home with clear contractual arrangements for each market.
Here control and decision rights matter more than geography, because disputes can arise over who decides when the founders disagree.
Employment and ownership are separate relationships and need separate treatment.
Some places place conditions on holding or earning from foreign companies. This needs a local professional.
If outside funding is likely, the structure should not make that harder.
This is a sequence because each answer limits the next.
Residence, other business interests, existing obligations and what each plans to contribute.
Share split, votes, who can bind the company and what needs joint approval.
How each founder will be paid or take returns, and where the company's customers and costs sit.
What happens if a founder leaves or two founders disagree about direction.

No. It can list the questions the agreement must answer. Drafting is for a lawyer.
Not on its own terms. The answer depends on the founders' situations, and the assessment compares realistic places against yours.
Gaps are recorded as open points; the assessment says which conclusions depend on them.
