Silent partners are typically paid based on the amount of money they invest in a business and their equity in that organization. For example, if they invest a certain amount of money to secure a 10% ownership of the company, they would likely be entitled to 10% of any profits the business generates over time.

As with other partnership agreements, a silent partnership generally calls for a formal agreement in writing. Prior to the formation of a silent partnership, the business must be registered either as a general partnership or a limited liability partnership per state regulations.

The silent partner steps back and lets you run the business. Once your business turns a profit, the silent partner receives 20% of the net profit. The profit is what's left after you subtract business expenses from your total sales revenue.

As a general rule, if there are two people in the partnership, it's 50/50, and if there are three people, it's a ? split. The biggest thing to remember is that no matter how you split your profits, the percentage must equal 100.

Agreements that are overly broad, oppressive, or attempt to contain non-confidential information will also be challenged or invalidated by the courts.
