    Sixteen questions to help you evaluate a potential business partner.<\/strong> \u201cQuestion # 3. How did the idea for this business develop? Together you brainstormed it, wrote it on a napkin, now you\u2019re in a partnership to bring it to life. Is it a good idea to be partners based solely on this? No. There will be lots more work together to make it into a business. A true business partner is reliable and trustworthy, not just a good idea generator.\u201d The rest can be found on pages 9-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sixteen questions to help you evaluate a potential business partner.<\/strong> Question # 5. Make sure your partner candidate has the same emotional investment as you do. If you\u2019re highly committed to the business\u2019 success and your partner isn\u2019t, there will be friction every day that you work harder than she does, especially if you\u2019re setting it up as a 50-50 split. Make the split indicative of all of the commitments, including time, financial, emotional, intellectual property or any other. Be prepared, as these may change as you re-evaluate your partnership each year. The rest can be found on pages 9-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cSo you and your partner(s) have never gotten around to having a written partnership agreement?<\/strong> “It protects everyone and gets real clarity about what to do if something unexpected happens: illness, death, accident, business sale, business growth, business closure, as well as retirement or just plain changing your mind about how you want to spend your time. This is the best time to get the partnership agreement done, while everything is going well and you both can be objective.\u201d Page 14<\/strong><\/p>\n
