Startup and market research

[Jim.H.]

I do not really know anything about running business and dealing with startups. I have been doing a market research for a startup company and they told me I will be paid based on equity. I was wondering if anybody lets me know how that works, also what should I do to make sure I get paid once I completed my work.

I wish to inform you that you may enter into a legally binding contract with the start up company to safe guard your business interests. Many start ups pay by giving equity to the other party. In this method, instead of cash payment you will be given a percentage share in the ownership of the start up company.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any template anywhere I can download to use for contract for startup ventures?

I would like to say that Customers or clients are the life of every business, so if you're offering a new service or product in your area, you have to devise a strategy to get people inside your place of business.
