Sweat Equity Agreement with our legal team

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.

Submit an enquiry on this page or click 'Get started'. One of our legal consultants will review it within 1 business day and get in touch to understand what you need.

Your consultant will then email you a fixed-fee quote setting out the cost, scope and timing. If you're happy with it, you can accept the quote and sign our engagement letter online.

Once you've accepted, one of our Australian-qualified lawyers will work with you to complete your project. They'll contact you by email or phone if they need anything.

Our fixed-fee packages for Sweat Equity Agreements start at $900 + GST. This includes a Sweat Equity Agreement drafted to meet your specific needs, phone consultations with our expert lawyers, and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.

Your work is done by our Australian-qualified lawyers, who hold Australian practising certificates and specialise in business law. None of them are New Zealand lawyers or hold a New Zealand practising certificate.
