Primasia: Questions to Ask Before Committing to a Business Partner

 

 

The best time to address potential problems with your business partner is at the beginning- before rough times hit and emotions run high. It's important to know as much as possible about a potential partner before diving into a new startup. That’s where Primasia Corporate Services Limited comes in. Not only can Primasia help you in locating a good business partner, they can run a Chinese Company Health Check to ensure business holdings are stable. And when you are ready to dive into your new venture, they can assist with any Visas or permits that are needed, as well as helping with Tax Compliance, reviewing banking and trade documents and get your new business set up with Xero- the best cloud accounting software available!

 

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.

Flower Fed Pork and Beer: Flavourful, Melt in Your Mouth Tender. Recipes Included!

 

 

You love pork, and you love beer... it's time to put them together! Taste of Scan’s tender, flavourful flower fed Pork paired with your favorite beer is a match made in heaven. Have fun and try different pairings, there is a lot of diversity in this alcoholic beverage. Scan’s flower fed pork is easy to prepare and can be cooked any way you like- the high-quality fat is quick to prepare and stays juicy and tender longer, so cooking time is less critical.   

Beer is a friend of pork in general, whether you’re using as a marinade or cooking with it. Light beers are best paired with lighter dishes or simply used as a refreshing beverage. For the perfect pork pairing, we recommend a hoppy or rich ale, especially with slightly richer dishes like ribs, bacon, ham or sausage. For an intense flavor porter-style beers often make a good match. Ultimately finding the perfect pairing depends on your taste buds - so feel free to experiment with your fave beers!

Grab a package of Taste of Scan’s Pork Ribeye Steak from your nearest ParknShop and try this slightly spicy Beer and Mustard Marinade recipe made with lager beer.

Taste of Scan Beer and Mustard Pork Ribeye Steak

• 330ml Bottle of lager Beer
• 3 Green Onions, both white and green parts, chopped
• 60ml Whole Grain Mustard
• 60ml Molasses
• 10ml Canola Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Hot Sauce (your preference)

This marinade will cover up to approx 360g of Pork.

Whisk all of the ingredients together till the molasses is dissolved. Add your Pork Ribeye Steak to a shallow pan and pour the well-blended marinade mixture on top. Cover well and refrigerate for 2 to 10 hours, flip chops once or twice during the marinating time if possible. Remove chops from marinade and grill over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius (approx 145 degrees Fahrenheit) followed by a 3-minute rest time. Discard any remaining marinade.  

This Pulled Pork recipe is perfect for serving to your family, for hosting a party or for those who simply enjoy having leftovers for several days. Using a slow cooker is perfect for those very busy workdays, but you can also use a grill or an oven. If you choose to not use a slow cooker, let your pork marinate in the spice rub for a couple hours before cooking.

Taste of Scan Pulled Pork

• 900 grams Taste of Scan Porkloin
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tsp. Each paprika, cumin, and salt
• 1/2 tsp. Each cayenne pepper and black pepper
• 1 small white onion, sliced
• 3 tbsp. garlic

Line bottom of slow cooker with onions and garlic and place your spice-rubbed pork loin on top. Carefully pour beer around the sides of your slow cooker, taking care not to “wash” the spices off your meat.  Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.  When your pork is done cooking, open your slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat. Serve immediately on your favorite bread or bun, paired with a zesty coleslaw of your choice.
