Profit sharing takes many different forms, although each iteration involves sharing operating profits or losses among associated financial actors. The Profit sharing is used as an incentive program–a small business owner may pay partners or associates a percentage-based reward for referring new customers. Also the profit sharing is used to distribute profits that result from a business alliance.

The practical details for each type of profit/revenue sharing plan are different, but their conceptual purpose is consistent, using profits to enable separate actors to develop efficiencies or innovate in mutually beneficial ways. It has become a popular tool within corporate governance to promote partnerships, increase sales or share costs.
