Going into business with a fellow flooring installer or tiler is an exciting step to take on larger commercial jobs and scale your operations, but handshake agreements won't protect your livelihood when the dust settles. A partnership agreement for tiling and flooring businesses is a binding contract that spells out exactly how you and your co-owner will run the company, split the profits, and handle the physical reality of the trade. You need this document before you purchase your first shared wet saw, sign a commercial lease, or bid on major contracts. A great agreement doesn't just focus on the money; it clearly defines who handles the physical labor versus the administrative tasks, how expensive equipment like grinders and vans are owned, and what happens if one partner wants to leave the business. By setting these boundaries early, you protect your personal tools, secure your hard-earned equity, and ensure your business relationship remains as rock-solid as a perfectly laid screed.
The agreement dictates whether tools are sold to split the cash or if one partner can buy out the other's share of the equipment. Any tools brought into the business by an individual partner before the partnership began typically remain their sole property. Without this clause, disputing ownership of expensive gear like dust extractors and tile saws can halt your work entirely.
Your agreement should state whether the partner who did the faulty work must fix it on their own unpaid time, or if the cost of the repair comes out of the shared business profits. It must also clarify how liability is shared for claims that arise after a partner has left the company. This prevents resentment when one partner has to clean up another's physical mistakes on site.
Not if your partnership agreement sets a spending and contracting limit requiring joint approval. Typically, partners can make minor daily purchases independently, but any contract or purchase over a specified dollar amount requires both signatures to be legally binding on the business. This safeguards the company from unauthorized debt or risky commercial bids.
Partners are typically paid through owner draws from the profits rather than a traditional salary, distributed monthly or quarterly based on your agreed profit-share percentages. You can also structure the agreement to pay a guaranteed payment to a partner who performs extra administrative work or acts as the primary estimator. This ensures compensation reflects actual effort rather than just equity ownership.
