What is Sweat Equity?

Usually, "sweat equity" means earning a stake in a company through hard work – like contributing your skills and time in the early days instead of just cash.

The Bigon Difference: Equity Through Promotion

At Bigon, we're doing things differently! We believe the real value comes from our community showing off and sharing their love for the brand. Our Sweat Equity program isn't about working in a workshop; it's about rocking Bigon gear out in the world.

How Does Bigon Sweat Equity Work?

It's simple:

  1. Get Your Gear: You acquire Bigon clothing by paying only for the cost of the materials and the electricity used to make it.
  2. Promote Bigon: This is where your "sweat" comes in!
    • Wear it: Show off your Bigon t-shirt or hoodie in public.
    • Share it: Post about your gear and the Sweat Equity program on social media (tag us!).
    • Talk about it: Tell your friends, family, and anyone who asks about Bigon and how they can get involved.
  3. Earn Your Stake: By doing this, you're actively building the Bigon brand, and we believe you should own a piece of what you help build.

Your Reward: Becoming a Bigon Ltd. Co-Owner

For participating and promoting the brand, you receive equity (shares) in Bigon Ltd.

  • Your Share: Each participant receives an equal stake, calculated as 1 share divided by the estimated current global population. This ensures fairness as our community grows.
  • Non-Transferable: These shares represent your personal contribution and stake in Bigon. They cannot be sold or transferred to others.

What's the Cost?

You only cover the essential production costs. We keep this as low as possible.

  • Indicative Prices: As a guide, a T-shirt typically costs around £9, and a hoodie might range from £14 to £19.
  • Get the Current Price: These costs can fluctuate slightly based on material and energy prices. For the latest cost price, please ask Mike or another current Sweat Equity owner!

Important Note on Tax

The prompt mentions shares are "tax-deductible". Tax laws regarding receiving shares can be complex and vary based on your individual circumstances and location. "Tax-deductible" usually refers to expenses you incur, not assets you receive. We strongly advise you to consult with a qualified tax professional to understand the specific tax implications of receiving equity in Bigon Ltd. in your situation.

Hi, this is Mike's sister. My role has been to type things that Mike said into Gemini to ask it to generate the above text. He hasn't read the output (edit by Mike: I was busy making your clothing). The prompt I used is:

website explaining the concept of sweat equity and how it works. unlike in a sweatshop where an individual works to make a garment, sweat equity will be in the form of promotion - wearing the garment in public, posting about the garment, talking to people about the garment and the sweat equity programme. all owners of clothing will be rewarded with equity in the Bigon Ltd company at a rate of 1 divided by the population of the world. shares are non transferable and tax deductible. The individual will pay the cost price of materials and electricity for the garment. Indicative prices are £9 for a t-shirt and £14-19 for a hoodie. Ask Mike or another owner of sweat equity for the current price!
