Sweat Equity Agreementwith expert lawyers

A Sweat Equity Agreement typically includes clauses that set out the amount of equity to be granted and any milestones that apply to that grant. It also covers the services to be provided by the worker and termination clauses.

Sweat Equity Agreements are usually used by startups to engage workers when they can't afford to pay them at first. They are also sometimes used with software developers for similar reasons.
