Sweat Equity Contract

"I need a Sweat Equity Contract for a senior developer joining my Singapore-based fintech startup, where they'll receive 5% equity vesting over 4 years, starting March 2025, in exchange for leading our technical development."

Document background
A Sweat Equity Contract is essential for Singapore businesses looking to compensate key contributors with ownership stakes rather than immediate cash compensation. This arrangement is particularly relevant for startups and growing companies with limited capital but significant growth potential. The contract, compliant with Singapore's corporate and securities laws, details the scope of services, equity allocation, vesting conditions, and valuation methods. It provides protection for both the company and the service provider while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for share issuance and corporate governance.
