Geoff M asked:


My brother is starting a small business and I would like to invest - partly to help fund the venture, partly to (hopefully) reap some rewards if it goes well.

How should I go about making the investment? I’m not worried that he would elope with the money, but I do want some sort of agreement that, should the business start to make money, then I get X amount in return. Can you show me any example contracts (good websites?)?

Are there any tax benefits/implications? This will be under UK law.

Thanks

Tara
