Is hiring a contract person for cold-calling legally acceptable?

I am a freelance digital marketer and also have a group of friends working together on a freelance basis. Each of us specializes in different segments of marketing, such as social media, websites, AI art, and more. However, none of us has sales knowledge, so I need to hire a person on contract to cold-call, present our services, and book appointments. I plan to offer the hired person ₹10,000 per month, plus a 10% commission for every appointment/deal closed. My goal is to start small, and as we generate revenue, I will register the business and invest in automated lead generation and deal-closing solutions. Is my plan legally acceptable, or do I need to make any changes? Please consider that my starting budget is low, so I have limited options.

Your plan is legally acceptable, but you must ensure the contract is in writing, specifying payment terms, commissions, and work responsibilities. Once your business grows, consider registering it legally. You should also ensure compliance with labor laws, especially regarding compensation.
