A partnership agreement begins with contributions and decisions
Before looking for a Word or PDF partnership form, ask what each partner supplies, who decides, how profit and loss are calculated, and what happens when one leaves. Put the real answers into a draft. Treaty neither registers a company nor issues an official founding instrument.

Fill in what you know; anything left blank stays a bracket to complete later.
Treat money and work differently
Identify each cash amount, work commitment, equipment or intellectual property, the date it is contributed, and whether it earns ownership, fees or only a share of one project’s returns. “Half and half” alone does not explain who manages the accounts or pays the first month’s expenses.
Decide and distribute with an explicit rule
State who makes routine decisions and signs new commitments, and how an expense above an agreed threshold is approved. Explain when profit is measured, which costs are deducted first, and how losses or new funding are handled. A copyable starting line is:
“Partner one contributes [cash/work], and partner two contributes [cash/work]. Net project proceeds after [specified costs] are shared [percentages] on [date]. Expenses above [limit] require both partners’ written approval.”
Replace every bracket and check the arithmetic.
Exit and official formation
Specify how a departing share is valued, when open duties and client work are settled, and who retains shared assets. If the activity requires a company to be formed, complete that process with the competent official authority, not Treaty. The general outline gives a starting structure; the partnership/shares quick start adds the relevant questions.
Frequently asked
Does a private PDF establish a company?
No. Incorporation and registration are separate procedures with requirements that depend on the entity.
Can I copy the percentage example into Word?
Yes, but replace the blanks and check the actual contributions and duties. Treaty DOCX export is not verified.
Zayenha Treaty is a tool for organizing, understanding, and initially drafting agreements. It does not provide legal advice and is not a substitute for review by a qualified legal professional, especially for high-risk agreements or those with significant financial or regulatory impact.
