There are several factors to consider when looking for a business partner. Here are some of the questions you should ask before signing on the dotted line:
What skills do you need from a business partner?
It might be more comfortable to have a business partner that is similar to you, but it’s probably not what your business needs. Your partnership is about coming together to form a well-rounded and fully equipped organization. Look for a business partner who brings something different to the table than you do. If you are creative, maybe you need someone who is detail-oriented. Maybe you are shy and need a someone who is a people person or has good connections. The bottom line is that together, you need to have complementary skills that will produce a successful business.
Are they as committed to the project as you are?
Is your new business partner willing to do what it takes to keep the business running? Everyone in a partnership should be willing to fold their sleeves and get their hands dirty for the good of the company. If you identify laxity in your potential partner, save your time and money, and look for a partner elsewhere.
Are you both willing to put everything in writing?
Often partnerships are started on a simple handshake, but this can lead to disaster. It's vital to put it on paper- what is expected from each partner and contingency plans. If disaster strikes, or a partner simply isn’t pulling their weight- then it's essential to be able to move on without destroying the business. If it’s in writing, not only do you both have a solid idea of what is expected of you, but there is no arguing if the venture doesn’t work out as planned.
