The best way to "make" the contract you describe is to hire a lawyer to do it right.

There are too many items that need to be included in such a contract to answer them here. Most contracts are specific to the circumstances and the parties involved. They are not "fill-in-the-blank" forms that can be used by anyone.

If you are considering selling 10% of your business you really need to sit down with an attorney and a CPA to help you along the way. There is so much that needs to be considered and reviewed prior to drafting a contract like you are describing.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney. Also, you have not specified the type of business you are selling an interest in: sole proprietorship, corporation, LLC or ? Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
