How to set up a business partnership
Decide if you need a partner.
You might actually be better off starting a business on your own. If you need help, then you could hire someone to work for you part-time or as an independent contractor.

Choices: -- Partnerships don't always go along smoothly, and you shouldn't jump into a partnership unless you are prepared to work closely with another person. It makes sense to form a partnership when the success of the venture depends on having the other person's participation. -- You might think about what your financial situation is and why you need a partner. Independently owned businesses are also easier to manage. -- You may need this person to do different administrative tasks. For example, you might need services that might cost money such as answering the phone, setting up telephone calls, preparing statements, assembling and organizing your accounts, and other tasks that are long term. -- In this situation, you need at least another person who does a decent job as an independent contractor. Likewise, you might already have a partner.
