How would this partnership business work in terms of who gets the profits?

Ryder asked:


Let’s say two people start a t-shirt business… one of the people doing the business is an artist who does the designs for the company, such as designs for the shirts. When these shirts get sold ($40 for a shirt for example), and the t-shirt is paid for, how is the money split among the two who is running the business?

    Since you haven’t legally formed a partnership, likely would be 50/50. I suggest you form a legal partnership so everybody is on the same page.
