High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
I'd recommend to start off with, once you get rolling go down to 10%. My team does 20% for team+owner+manager, then the rest is for builders on commissions. On pre-mades it's 85% to the builders. We have been satisfied with this number though I'm considering increasing the builders commission to 85% as well.
That's how we do it, not sure if that helps or not.

Even 20% on your team is a lot..
Yeah, we realize it will be cut back soon, as I said it's to find footing. Get a trust able team then rake it back to 10%-15%. That's a fair number considering all we provide to builders in exchange they make .80$ to .85$ on the dollar.
We've only been at this for a couple of months now so that's why the higher number. Once we get success on our standard then we cut back to attract more builders.
So far no builder has had a problem with it.

I just find these Build team expenses ridiculous, its not like the servers are any pricy. And honestly what if you want good builders why would you scare them away with 15-20% "BT Expenses", when in reality, most of it just goes into your pocket.
Being honest, I don't take it into "my pocket" it's chump change for me I have a real life job. I take it as a need for some online expenses, yet I uses it for the purchases of a team, Server costs isn't just it, it's also web-hosting and domain for the website, graphics, server/team logo, legalities if the team does it. If the team is looking to go professional it's a good number. Those who do shove it into their pockets aren't really in it for "team" they are their for themselves. So I wouldn't say it's expensive. i'd say it's slightly on the higher end though understandable.
This is what people don't get most of time
My BT had a 30% one but yea the server did not cost much but we never gave any to ourselves we spent it on GFX, Websites, Vids maker, advertisement and a lot more
I've taken 7.5% from all commissions in my team, & that was only for the first 2 months we ran. I auction my team's stuff for free if they want, since I'm such a legend. 
Isn't that right Koala 
I don't think websites help much unless you're an extremely large and well known team such as BlockWorx who also have their schem store site which is pretty cool.
I've spent like $20 on the banner in my sig(which is really outdated) + an avatar that I don't use. & then our server costs less than $5 a month.

The point of a build team is to build shit as a team, not to group people's commissions under an umbrella and charge a percentage.
I don't think rj is trying to be manipulative in charging stupid fees, I think he really didn't think about the creation of this build team much and posted it on impulse. I would suggest he tries joining a team instead of running one at this point.

Webhosting and domain are like 30$/year max, graphics- I dont see any on your BT (same for team logo), legalities .. like taxes?
Logo's we are ordering them, actually already ordered waiting on delivery. I don't see why it's an issue for you. Our team is doing well on 80% and 85%. If you don't want to do those percentages for your team it's fine. Though that's your opinion that it's high. So I mean I believe 80% to 85% is justified.
