White Label Agreement: A General Guide

Trustpilot

A white label agreement is a contract allowing a party to rebrand and sell a product or service developed by another party as their own in a particular place. This type of agreement is used in various industries, such as technology, marketing, finance, and e-commerce. White label agreements offer a convenient and cost-effective way for businesses to expand their product or service offerings without developing them from scratch.

How a White Label Agreement Works

Essentially, the developer or manufacturer creates a generic product or service, and the reseller or distributor customizes the product or service with their own branding, logo, and other specific features.

The reseller or distributor takes ownership of the product or service and sells it to their customers as if it were their own without disclosing the original developer's or manufacturer's involvement.

White label agreements are also known as private label agreements or rebranding agreements.

Benefits of a White Label Agreement

A white label agreement benefits businesses the most because of the legalities associated with it. Here are the benefits of the agreement.

G'day, my name is Michele! I work with startups, entrepreneurs and small/medium-sized businesses across the country in a wide array of industries. I help them with all of their ongoing, daily legal needs. This includes entity formation, M&A, contract drafting and review, employment, asset sale & acquisition, and business sales or shareholder exits. I'm half-Australian, half-Italian, and I've lived the last 20+ years of my life in America. I've lived all over the USA, completing high school in the deep south, graduating cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis, and then cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. After law school I worked for the Los Angeles office of Latham & Watkins, LLP. After four intense and rewarding years there, I left to become General Counsel and VP of an incredible, industry-changing start-up called Urban Mining Company (UMC) that manufactures rare earth permanent magnets. I now work for Phocus Law where I help run our practice focused on entrepreneurs, startups, and SMEs. I love what I do, and I'd love to be of help! My focus is on providing stress-free, enjoyable, and high-quality legal service to all of my clients. Being a good lawyer isn't enough: the client experience should also be great. But work isn't everything, and I love my free time. I've been an avid traveler since my parents put me on a plane to Italy at 9-months old. I'm also a music nut, and am still looking for that perfect client that will engage me to explain why Dark Side Of The Moon is the greatest album of all time. Having grown up in a remote, and gorgeous corner of Australia, I feel a strong connection to nature, and love being in the elements.
