Likely, the work you carried out may end up as sunk costs anyway. Getting equity, you make clear to your friend that you haven't worked for free, that that you "trust" his company idea - and if, unexpectedly, the business takes off, you even got your money. A way to keep your face, his face (and to pretend to yourself to have had a good business idea). | |

Fix some misspellings, a wrong word choice, and convert an inline list into a bulleted list for more impact.

| Jun 15, 2018 at 16:56 | comment | added | DonQuiKong | “he's liable to outright refuse any future payment that he's not legally obligated to pay (which is why the contract is so important).“ - For the sake of completeness, most contracts don't require a written form and are completely valid by verbal agreement (should apply here). Of course, if you can't prove that agreement exists, that's a different issue. But the distinction is important, for example recurring trades between programming work and money and an unpaid piece of programming work would be a very good indicator that there was an agreement, even if proving the specifics is hard. | |

| Jun 15, 2018 at 13:49 | comment | added | Flater | @bednarjm: It is by far the proverb I most use at work, when people start mixing responsibilities/explanations. Just to distinguish, why OP's not getting paid in time may be important if he's open to accepting a delay for a friend; but that simply doesn't mean that he should avoid documenting the agreement in the first place. OP is better off giving some leeway on an existing agreement, as opposed to trying to claim that a non-existent contract was broken. | |
