Revenue Share
Definition
Revenue Share is a business arrangement where a company earns a percentage of the money generated by a client's business instead of charging fees before the work begins.
Where you’ll find it
In the Business platform, you can typically set up revenue share agreements in the Contracts or Billing section. Here, you define how much percentage of the client’s revenue you will receive.
Common use cases
- When starting a partnership and preferring to earn based on the client's sales or profits rather than charging a fixed fee upfront.
- Useful for businesses that want to align their earnings with the success of their clients, encouraging mutual growth.
- Often applied in sectors where client revenue is highly variable, making traditional fee structures impractical.
Things to watch out for
- Ensure that the method of calculating the revenue shared is clearly agreed upon and documented to avoid disputes.
- Regularly update terms to reflect any changes in business operations or market conditions that could affect the revenue calculations.
- Be aware of the tax implications that might arise from revenue sharing models.
