How the deal works.
The deal in plain words, so the figures on this site mean what you think they mean. The partner agreement you sign says the same things in full, and you read it before you sign anything.
The terms
- 01
A monthly allowance, from day one.
Arkscale pays you an allowance every month from the day you start, whatever the business bills. It is sized to living costs at the market rate for your country and agreed before you start. It is not a salary and there is no employer.
- 02
Your share of the profit: 15% to begin with, 30% once the business has proved itself.
You start at 15% of the profit the business makes. Once the business has made $40,000 in total profit, your share rises to 30% of the profit from then on. The share is paid once a fee can no longer be clawed back.
- 03
30% of the shares, at the same point.
When the business reaches $40,000 in total profit, you also receive 30% of the shares in the company set up for the business. From then on you own a stake in the company that carries your name.
- 04
What profit means.
Profit is what the business bills its clients, minus the cost of delivering the work, the tools the business uses and your allowance. You see every number in a monthly statement.
- 05
The agreement.
The full terms are in the partner agreement between you and Arkscale Ventures Inc, a Delaware corporation. Where this page and the agreement differ, the agreement is what counts.
