More details
A partnership agreement is one of the most important documents a business creates. It defines who contributes what, how profits and losses are shared, decision-making authority, and what happens if a partner leaves.
Traditionally, these required in-person meetings with lawyers, printing, and physical signatures. Electronic signatures eliminate all of this friction. The partnership agreement can be drafted, reviewed, and signed digitally — often in the same day.
What to include in your partnership agreement: - Business name and purpose - Capital contributions from each partner - Profit and loss distribution percentages - Management responsibilities and decision-making authority - Dispute resolution process - Exit and dissolution terms - Non-compete and confidentiality provisions
All of this can be written in markdown and signed electronically. The SHA-256 certificate proves the exact terms both parties agreed to, with timestamps and IP addresses for legal defensibility.
Frequently asked questions
Can a partnership agreement be signed electronically?
Yes. Partnership agreements are fully valid with electronic signatures under ESIGN (US), eIDAS (EU), and ECA (UK). No specific document type restriction applies.
Do both partners need to be in the same location to sign?
No. Each partner receives a separate signing link by email and can sign from anywhere — different cities, different countries. The signed document is delivered to both once complete.
