I plan on going into a wedding film business with a friend and I was wondering what percentage of the profit he should get. His main role is second shooter. I'll be the main shooter and do all the editing. In the early stages, I'll handle all the client meetings. Thanks in advance.

40/40 10% per going back into the company. Thats how my partner an I split per deal, then again we make a lot more than the typical photo session. Get everything on paper.

40+40+10 = 80% What about the other 10% is that just left alone or set aside for taxes/bills etc?

I would do a 50/40 in your favor with the remaining 10 being reinvested in the business somehow.

this is business. Don't mix it with friends. 75-25. don't even think otherwise, you're not a charity.

Some advice, dont ever go into business with a partner. NEVER. Have him as your employee, and pay him either a lump sum per shoot or hourly.

Thought about this but it was too late. You live and learn

Asking for trouble because 1 party will eventually feel like they are getting shafted in whatever deal is initially agreed upon.
