This article could have been titled “Pros and Cons of Partnerships”
but the cons somewhat seem to take over the pros. As soon as
partnerships are formed, the obvious concerns are brought up. How do
each partner’s rank and experience complement one another, how much
will each partner contribute to get the business started, how
prolonged will they grow the business until they think about selling
it, the list goes on and on....

As soon as the business gets off the floor and starts to grow there is
no skepticism the economy and trade variable fluctuations will tend to
affect the business. Each one partner’s conception of the course the
company should head changes as well. There are constant decisions
with regards to the mixture of product and service offerings. The
assessment to get keen on another type of business or get out of one
or the focus might be on a higher volume, lower profit margin business
model or the way around. Then there is always a concern about a shift
to a more capital intensive reproduction. If the company results in
being a winner, countless times potential investors tend to want to
get involved, whether an angel backer or venture capitalist. Both
partners will then need to agree on the investment proposal which can
be tough at times. We if he or she wants to do something you don't
want to do? Like give up to much of the business for to little money?
These are all things to think about before jumping into bed with
another partner and thus forming a partnership!

What if one of the partners buys an asset for the company whether it’s
property, a building, a strip mall, technology company, or to
complicate the intellectual asset of some sort. When the company is
going to be sold, what is the value of the partner’s s asset? he or
she acquires proprietary technology, information, patents, etc to try
to add value it. This can turn out to be an insurmountable obstacle.
Most buyers know not to value any one piece near what it’s worth by
itself.

When it’s time to sell the company like hot cakes, the monetary state
of affairs of each partner will have changed since the company was
formed. The consideration for the company could be all stock, all
liquid cash, or a combination of both, and sometimes maybe asset
transfer with either stock or cash. The tax ramifications of each of
the these cases are different for each partner. In the real world the
process of divesting a company could turn bad and go up in flames all
because the partners didn’t agree on the projected deal. Both
partners will have spent years growing the company then totally
quarrel about when to sell it, who to sell it to, and how much to sell
the company for. Just remember starting a business or company (or
nevertheless a partnership) is all about return on your investment
therefore sometimes its best to be Single 1 Boss instead of Splitting
the Boss title into 2.
