Is it considered usury if I invest my money in a company, and the profit is approximate, not based on a specific percentage?

If you agree that the company operates with the money for half, a third, or a quarter of the profit, there is no harm, as this is (profit-sharing). However, giving a specific profit percentage (such as 3% or 5%) is not permissible, because it is usury (riba).
