How do I make a partnership proposal templates and basic rules

Make a clear, reusable template and a short set of governance rules. Steps to create the template:

  • Start with a one-line title and date, parties’ names and contact info.
  • Executive summary (1–2 sentences of purpose and mutual benefit).
  • Scope & deliverables (who does what, by when).
  • Contributions & financials (cash, services, revenue split, billing cadence).
  • Governance & decision-making (who has authority, meeting cadence).
  • KPIs & reporting (metrics, reporting format, frequency).
  • IP & confidentiality (who owns new IP, NDA basics).
  • Term, renewal & exit (notice period, buyout or wind-down steps).
  • Dispute resolution & applicable law.
  • Signatures and annexes (detailed SOW, budget, timelines).

Basic rules checklist to include in every proposal:

  • Define roles/owners for each deliverable.
  • Require monthly progress reports and one decision owner per topic.
  • Cap liabilities and specify indemnities.
  • Set termination triggers and transitional obligations.
  • Require legal review before signing.

Save as an editable DOC/Google Doc, use plain language, and get counsel for final terms. What type of partnership are you planning (co‑marketing, JV, referral, distribution, etc.)?
