What contract options do I have for investing in a friend?
<p>My friend is a bitcoin trader and makes a living doing it. I've seen his setup and trust him and I want to ensure if anything goes wrong that he'll make efforts to pay me back. </p>

<p>I know this is an investment of some kind. I own an LLC and want to invest some of the company money in his trading and let him keep a % of the profit too. </p>

<p>What legally binding contract options am I looking for exactly? </p>

<p>"I want to ensure <strong>if anything goes wrong</strong> that he'll make efforts to pay me back."</p>

<p>That would be a loan. An investment is where he pays you back if everything goes <strong>right</strong>. For that reason, investments are riskier and pay more <em>if</em> they pay out.</p>
