What is an investment agreement?

An investment agreement is an agreement between a person or company that has money to invest (called an investor) and another person or company that needs financing for their project or business (called investment receiver). In this agreement, the investor provides funds to the investee in exchange for a share of future profits or ownership of the business. The investor seeks to make a profit through the success of the project, and the investor obtains the necessary capital to grow their business.
