Partnership agreement
The most important thing in partnership agreements is the fact that when making one, the founders discuss and agree on in detail the objectives of the entrepreneurship, ways of working and contribution of each of the founders. If new financiers are later stepping onboard, the original agreement will be most probably replaced with a new one. There are templates and guides available that highlight the role of partnership agreements and their key parts.
