# Business fee distribution

Market's planned business token allocation gives the business at the center of the story the largest share of eligible collected fees.

> This is the approved allocation policy. It does not establish that a token is live, that fees have been collected or that a business has been paid. The public payout workflow is not currently open.

## The 75 / 10 / 15 split

| Recipient                   | Share of eligible protocol-net fees actually received |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------: |
| Verified business recipient |                                                   75% |
| Original launcher           |                                                   10% |
| Market                      |                                                   15% |

The target business token trading fee is 2.25% during the curve stage and 2.25% after migration. The underlying protocol takes its applicable share first. The remaining eligible collected amount is the basis for 75 / 10 / 15.

Market does not apply an arbitrary additional deduction for its operating costs before this split. Network or payment costs, if applicable to an action, must be disclosed separately; the examples here do not assume an extra deduction.

## Why the business receives the largest share

The place, its people and its story give the project its identity. A creator can help a community discover that story, while the business contributes the real-world subject that people recognize.

This allocation gives the original creator a disclosed incentive to build the project and leaves most of the eligible net fees attributable to the business. It does not require the business to promise token holders a return or give them ownership of the company.

## If the owner also launches

When the same verified recipient is also the original launcher, the two allocations total **85% of eligible protocol-net fees**: 75% as the business recipient and 10% as the launcher. Verification and original creator attribution still matter.

## What is actually distributable

Only fees that fall within Market's relevant collection rights and are actually received can enter this allocation. After migration, liquidity positions, collection rights and other liquidity providers can change how much is collected.

Do not multiply all trading volume across every pool by the target fee and treat the result as money owed. Volume, gross fees, protocol-net fees, the business allocation and actual payment are different values.

## Before the business is verified

An attributable business share can be described as reserved under the applicable policy. Reservation is not an approved claim, a ready payment or a completed transfer. An unverified business share does not automatically become an extra launcher share.

Read [fee states and receipts](https://market-launchpad-com.gitbook.io/docs/fees/fee-status-and-receipts) and [claiming business fees](https://market-launchpad-com.gitbook.io/docs/business/claiming-fees) for the meaning of each stage.

The business share is held in Market’s treasury and attributed in its internal ledger. Only a manually verified business representative can be approved for payment. A Google account sign-in alone is not business verification. Pending unverified requests do not reserve funds against other representatives.
