Share-in-Revenues (SiR) – also called Revenue Sharing – is a “the distribution of revenue or all the money that a business takes in or loses. Put simply, all stakeholders get a share of the profits and the losses when a company chooses to implement a revenue-sharing plan.” (Investopedia)Share-in-Revenues (SiR) – also called Revenue Sharing – is a “the distribution of revenue or all the money that a business takes in or loses.

SiR is the basis of most historically successful industries in the USA. All sales-based business are SiR because a commission on sales is a form of Revenue Sharing. All of the film industry is SiR, because theaters do revenue sharing deals with the studios. All cable local TV channels, video-on-demand (vod), and premium channels (HBO, Showtime) are revenue sharing deals. Youtube and most video-based social media platforms which are driven by advertising are revenue sharing. All audio-based music platforms and music deals with big labels are all SiR. Most of Amazon, especially its book industry and most of publishing is SiR. Even Cable TV and Internet Service Provision subscriptions are revenue sharing businesses who essentially collect taxes (share revenues) for all levels of government. Wireless phone service, electricity, and water utilities do the same. The USA is a SiR economy.
Difficulties with Large Businesses & Corporations
As you can see SiR or Revenue Sharing is as American as Apple Pie. It is a foundational component of the American economy. At this time is it primarily based upon the honestly, transparency, and consistency of those who sign the agreement. Unfortunately, 50 years of globalism has taken its toll on the honestly of American businesses. One could say that US businesses are often some of the most untrustworthy businesses in the world today. It was not always like this, but the courts are littered with cases base solely on one party refusing to honor a deal they signed.
The US legal system was a reliable way to handle these disputes, but the relative size of corporations has become a major issue. Taking money from a business was a real deterrent to poor behavior. Today, that is no longer the case. The court system itself has been weaponized so that small companies or individuals will almost always lose against large entities. Moreover, if a small company or individual wins, it is only symbolic, only to be reversed or greatly reduced by a reviewing court friendly to corporations. Therefore, the US court system is no longer a real defense to being ripped off by a partner who is a large corporation or even a large small business.
Nonetheless, who has the largest audiences? Large corporations. Who has the most resources for launching a business? Large corporations. Who has the technology to reduce the cost of reaching your target audiences? Large Corporations. Who has the distribution and resources to process sales to thousands of people? Large Corporations. So we need them, but doing business directly with them can be hazardous.
Cancel culture has enlightened us to the weaknesses of large corporations. Foreign manipulation has become a risk as well. Cyber security looms in the background of every online deal. Political parties powered by corporate donations will not reliably regulate the worse tendendies of large businesses. The amazing new internet is filled with analytics manipulation, artificial intelligence abuse, privacy violations, search and video throttling are all tactics used to damage your business without any evidence to prove it is happening. Finally, what happens when the business you signed with, starts to compete against you? They control search, they control ads, and they control your money. If they want to replace you, all they need to do, is watch how you do it, learn from you, then copy your processes. However, they have the resources to reach further and do more than you could ever generate. It is no longer wise to do direct agreements with a large business or corporation. It probably never was a wise strategy.
A TRUSTED THIRD PARTY SOLUTION
You need a third party whose interest is independent of other parties. You need a trusted party who is regulated and whose reputation is not based solely on money, but integrity, transparency, and competence. Trusted third parties play this role in real estate transactions. We are developing this platform to play this role in everyday transactions, to lower the risk in dealing with very large corporations. It also lowers the risk for the large corporation in working with small business.
Risk is generated where uncertainties abound. One of the largest risks is not being paid or loss of your business to a partner who begins to compete with you. In the technology sector, this is so prevalent, it is accepted behavior. However, we cannot afford to allow the tech sector’s lack of rules-based behavior to contaminate the rest of the economy. A hopelessness comes with that sort of globalist behavior. We need to begin to apply the principles which makes our economy successful; ethics, trustworthiness, consistency and minimizing uncertainties. A trusted thrid party makes deal-making more certain.
Through a trusted third party we can make certain that everyone who signs the deal are risking resources proportionately and are paid proportionately according to the SiR Agreement. Ensuring a payout is stable and reducing risk in the current economic climate, is a business model which is reliable and repeatable.
During times when money is expensive, and geopolitical instability abounds, we seek stability in other ways. Ensuring revenues are stable is a great way to build new businesses whose inherent instabilities are isolated to the business or individual. Some of the best money-makers or risk profiles are associated with unstable characters. Their instability is part of how they produce products, services, and experiences that people will pay a premium to obtain. The best way to take advantage of instability is to create stability in ways that protect revenue streams, while allowing for instability in the performance or operations of the business. This produces happy customers and outcomes for which people will always pay a premium.
