STL Global’s partnership program invites selected entrepreneurs and investors to co-develop business and franchise projects through lawful, transparent, and ethical collaboration.
These ventures are not public investments; rather, they are private partnerships formed through clear agreements that define mutual responsibilities, ownership shares, and operational control.

Each joint project operates under the principle that both sides — STL Global and the co-partner — share capital, management duties, and accountability within a legally registered business entity.
Every venture is structured in full accordance with local and international business laws, taxation rules, and licensing regulations.

Every project is built upon written contracts that clearly define:

• Capital contributions,
   
• Percentage ownership,
   
• Profit-sharing structure,
   
• Decision-making authority,
   
• Duration, renewal, and exit options.
   

No funds are ever accepted without a formal agreement, and no partner is asked to make deposits online or through informal channels.

Both STL Global and its partners contribute resources:

• STL Global provides brand identity, concept creation, international coordination, and operational management systems.
   
• Partner contributes capital, local permits, and daily operations.
  Together, the venture grows through lawful cooperation, mutual accountability, and transparent documentation.
   

Each STL Global project complies with:

• U.S. business and partnership laws;
   
• Host-country registration and taxation rules;
   
• International trade and anti-fraud regulations.
   

These collaborations are conducted solely under transparent contractual agreements and in full compliance with the laws of each respective country.

• Dispute resolution mechanisms,
   
• Compliance with host-country and international law.
