Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Can we use this Profit Sharing Agreement without forming a separate legal entity?+

Yes. This template is designed for contractual profit-sharing arrangements and does not require a separate company, though you should obtain tax and regulatory advice to ensure the structure is compliant for your specific business.

How detailed should the permitted expense schedule be?+

It should be detailed enough to avoid ambiguity, listing categories such as direct costs, overheads, marketing spend, salaries, financing costs, and any specific inclusions or exclusions agreed so that profit computation can be reproduced and audited reliably.

What happens if the profit share percentages do not add up to 100%?+

As a matter of good practice, the configured percentages for all participants should total 100% of Distributable Profit. If they do not, you should adjust either the percentages or the adjusted profit methodology so that there is no unallocated or double-counted share.

Can disputes under this arrangement be resolved through arbitration?+

Yes. The template includes a choice of arbitration or court jurisdiction and, if arbitration is selected, incorporates language aligned with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 for enforceable awards in India.

Is an electronic signature valid for this profit sharing contract?+

In India, agreements signed with valid electronic or digital signatures that comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 are generally recognised as legally enforceable, provided all other elements of a valid contract are satisfied.
