Seek a person who you know for a long time

Getting started with partnership could be tricky because of challenges associated with it. You must opt for a person who you know for a long time. This may also involve a person who could be your friend or relative.

Documentation is important

Lastly, it is very important to go through the process of documentation when it comes to partnership business. Legal documentation may help protect you and your partners as well in regards to conducting business.

The only part of this post that would resonate with my beliefs as a business person is in the area of documentation being very important. As for the issue of trust in business, it is as thin as ice and I don't leave anything to chance when doing business with anyone, including my biological family members.

I always make sure that every agreement is duly documented and signed properly before committing to a lawyer to authenticate it. And I do it even with deals regarded as small. Business partners can discount their morality at anytime and between your trust so drastically.
