Trusting My Business Partner
Run Your Business Alone or With a Partner?
Running a business is extremely hard whether it is a new business or a going concern. A single person really cannot keep up with everything that needs to be done. This is why many people start a business with a business partner
.It seems like a simple solution. Work with one or more partners. You can share the load. And the expense. And the liability. And the idea is a good one, except when it doesn't work.

Things That Go Wrong
There are so many things that can go wrong in a partnership. We would like to think that our partner is honest, fair, and hardworking.We liked them to begin with, maybe they were a friend or a relative or a well known acquaintance.
I am here to tell you that no matter who they are, they can potentially betray you and destroy both your personal finances and your business.
It is crucial when going into business with anyone, even a relative, to make sure you are protected with a contract, legal protection, and regular audits of your books, to make sure your business is going the way it should.

Do You Think I Am Negative?
Well maybe I am, but if so, it is because of experience. I had a business partner, actually two business partners. One of them ended up lying to us, stealing from us, and selling items out from under us. Before this, she was a cherished friend for over 5 years.Since that happened to me, I have heard many stories that are similar. I am just saying, protect yourself.
