Revenue Sharing Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 7, 2024

Can you explain the key provisions and legal considerations of a revenue sharing agreement?

I am currently in discussions with a potential business partner to establish a revenue sharing agreement for a new online platform we are developing together. While I have a basic understanding of revenue sharing agreements, I am unsure about the specific provisions and legal considerations that need to be included in the agreement to protect both parties' interests. I want to ensure that the agreement clearly outlines how revenue will be shared, what expenses will be deducted, and how disputes will be resolved, among other key provisions. I would greatly appreciate your guidance in understanding the legal aspects of revenue sharing agreements and any potential pitfalls that I should be aware of before finalizing the agreement with my business partner.

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is located in Long Island City across from Manhattan. Some key provisions in a revenue-sharing agreement would be the following: - Purpose and Scope - Revenue Sharing Terms - Expense Deductions - Responsibilities of Each Party - Audit Rights - Dispute Resolution - Confidentiality and Non-Compete - Termination and Exit Strategy - Liability and Indemnification - Choice of Law Clearly distinguish between revenue-sharing arrangements and equity stakes, as they have different legal and tax implications. Also, address ownership of any intellectual property developed during the partnership, which can become a significant source of disputes. Feel free to reach out if you want a consultation or help drafting the agreement.

Need advice on Revenue Sharing Agreement.

I am currently in negotiations with a potential business partner to enter into a revenue sharing agreement for a new venture we are planning to launch together, and I would like to seek legal advice to understand the potential risks, liabilities, and protections associated with such an agreement, as well as ensure that the terms and conditions are fair and reasonable for both parties involved.

You can consult an attorney to review your terms, conditions, and goals. Generally, having a separate legal entity is best to help protect against liability. You would determine the business structure, such as a limited liability company or a subchapter S corporation. In those cases, you would have either an Operating Agreement or a Shareholders Agreement that outlines reasonable terms and conditions for both parties.

There is not a lot of detail here so I am going to assume you are not asking about how to get a small business loan, or you aren't interested or able to get SBA financing for what ever reason. If you have a successful restaurant concept, you might want to look into Regulation CF crowdfunding. I am aware of a number of food and beverage businesses that have leveraged their existing loyal and enthusiastic customer bases and a well executed financial and PR campaign to fund expansion sites.

Never sign a contract without a lawyer reviewing it. Signing a document and being obligated to a contract that has not been reviewed can be detrimental to your business. If you and the other party disagree on the agreement, it will cost approximately 5-10 times more to litigate and defend yourself than it would cost to review the initial document and ensure you and your company are protected. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.

How can I cancel the signed building repair contract in new york?

I have signed a contract to do repair work of home and it is in the last phase. The contract includes the work to the done and the amount allocated and it does not contain any clauses or date of completion for each phase. Currently, the contractor is not coming for work and not responding to emails and phone calls. 90% of work is done for paid work. No money is paid for pending work. I want to hire a new contractor. Is sending a letter indicating the contract is terminated due to non progress and pending work for paid amount is enough ?

I suggest you send the contractor an email and mail a written letter to him stating that you will not be completing the job with him.
