    I guess one way of doing it is for a group to get together, create a parent company - where all members have equal share. All new work comes to the parent company.

    Then each member of the group (and part owners of the parent) subcontract their time/skills on a self-employed basis, at an agreed hourly rate. This way people get a time/effort related pay.

    At the end of the financial year the profits re divided up equally as a "bonus".

    Regarding how you'd factor in a salesman or an agent... I haven't worked that out yet, maybe this could come out of your profits or you could pay someone to do this if you set your self employed (take-home salary) lower than what the company charges?
