How to share dividends when starting a company in partnership?

The profits of a partnership enterprise shall generally be distributed in accordance with the partnership agreement. If there is no agreement, it shall be distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution of each partner or equally. In particular, the principle of distribution according to work is applicable to partnership enterprises with labor remuneration.

The profit distribution of partnership enterprises is a crucial link in the management of partnership enterprises. According to the provisions of the Partnership Enterprise Law, the profit distribution method of a partnership enterprise shall be stipulated in the partnership agreement. If there is no agreement or the agreement is unclear, it shall be distributed according to the proportion of capital contribution of each partner. At the same time, if there is no special agreement in the partnership agreement, the profit distribution shall be carried out after the annual settlement. In particular, for a partnership with remuneration for labor, it should be distributed according to the participation and contribution of its members. Specifically, the distribution ratio of each partner should be calculated according to the proportion of labor remuneration obligations, and profits should be distributed according to this ratio. It should be noted that the profit distribution of partnership enterprises is restricted by the partnership agreement, so when making the partnership agreement, we should fully consider the way and proportion of profit distribution and make detailed and clear provisions on it. At the same time, we should avoid using vague and uncertain terms or expressions in the agreement as much as possible to avoid disputes.

Can the profit distribution of a partnership exceed the proportion of capital contribution? Under normal circumstances, the profit distribution of a partnership enterprise should be distributed according to the proportion of each partner's capital contribution, that is, whoever contributes more will have a higher proportion. However, the partnership agreement can also be adjusted according to the actual situation, such as the workload and risk-taking of members. Therefore, some exceptions can be stipulated in the partnership agreement, but they must comply with the law.

The profit distribution of a partnership enterprise shall be clearly stipulated in the partnership agreement, and shall generally be distributed according to the proportion of each partner's capital contribution. However, appropriate adjustments can also be considered in the partnership agreement according to the actual situation. In any case, we should fully consider the influence of profit distribution mode and proportion, and avoid using vague and uncertain terms or expressions as much as possible.
