Does Business Partnership Mean Business Success?

Starting a business is always a challenging endeavor, and it can be even more difficult to do it alone. Engaging a partner can help broaden your access to capital and enhance your skill set, increasing your chances of success. However, partnerships also entail certain risks and you’ll want to make sure you take the nesessary steps to ensure that the arrangement works out.

A few tips to help you as you consider to make a final decision:

  1. Ensure you share the same values, goals and vison for the business.
  2. Choose a partner with complementary skills to increase your strengths. This will double the power of your startup team.
  3. Have a track record together. Choose someone you’ve gone through similar challenges, handled conflicts and achieved common goals with success.
  4. Have a clear legal document outlining all the aspects of the partnership, such as the business structure, capital contribution, decision-making roles, dispute resolution, and what happens should one partner want to leave.
  5. Clearly define each partner’s roles and responsibilities. This will be useful in the long term. 
  6. Be honest with each other. Masking your true feelings to avoid hurting your business partner will cause more problems than it eliminates.
