I did it and wouldnt entertain the notion again, we wernt friends after we started working together even if we were before.

You'll never earn as much with a partner in business,.. its not worth the hassle.

Who would gain from the partnership and how would it be divided if you wish to go your own ways after the partnership ends.

work in co operation but not in partnership.

You stick to windows and he does carpets and driveways. You can advertise and market together.

Too much ball ache if it all goes wrong, and these things do tend too.

I had a partner selling insurance etc about 20yrs ago. Doesn't work. A shame he was a good friend but never really spoke after we split it up. A good quick way to split up a friendship.

As previously said just cooperate together.Much better.

Although some people make it work.

My best mate works with me 2 days a week. I give him a 3rd of what I earn. Hes also done some canvassing for me and got me some good customers. A few months ago he asked if he could come into partnership with me if he pumped some money in. At first it sounded a great idea. But after thinking about it I told him a polite no. Its taken me 20 years to build this business. I would still be the one making the water at my house and all the other jobs that have to be done. So I'm so glad now that I said no.
So don't do it!!!

Obviously any large company have more than one Director (partner).
The best partnerships are when each partner brings expertise for example a Financial Director, a Marketing Director a Sales Director  and an Operations Director, with these skills you can build a large organisation but as the previous posts have said two working partners often doesnt work.

The trouble with a partnership is that one of you ends up feeling that they are doing more than their share and gets the hump. If you are going to team up do it in parallel, work togeather by all means but avoid the partnership and the shared money issues.

It can work very well, if your married and living together, otherwise no way.
