Advice On Partnership Agreement? by TWOWAYMIRROR: 10:21am On Nov 19, 2015
Hello, My name is Tony Buknor.
I am about going into a business partenership with a Boss of mine. He is the sole financier., i will be providing the technical and managerial expertise. This means that i will be running the business 100%, building the brand from a scratch..from choosing a name for the biz to creating logos,hiring of staff etc.
We agreed to do an agreement..so im asking all the sound business professionals and business lawyers in the house to help me iron out what they think will be a reasonable condition of the partnership, including the sharing of the profits /loss. And other important clauses of the agreement.
I know i will get a lawyer..but i seriously rely on niralenders to guide me on what my conditions should be on my part of the agreement.
Thanks
.TONY
Modified:..we are going into phone business...sales,repairs..on a big scale.in a shopping mall

Bro; in as much i admire your zeal to be productive and possibly employ labor. i want to draw your attention to one thing.
EVERY INVESTOR HATES STORY!!! They all want to see the positive effect of their investment...

It takes the Grace of God to see an investor who will stand by you when things are not moving as documented.

my question here is, Do you have a shock absorber plan?? ie, what it takes to make the business a success

dont look at the money he want to invest, look at the profit he is expecting. Can i make it happen
Dont tell me 'By the Grace of God'... be realistic.

because if you start telling him stories tomorrow and he sees you changing or wearing your brothers new Jean, he has every right to call you names.

i have seen guys with zeal go into these kind of gestures and only a few (very few) where a success.

allow reality to overwhelm you, not the big money you want to touch... we all think and plan well when broke. only a hand ful execute good plans when money comes.

Lastly... ARE YOU Financially Disciplined??





if not.. this might be an END TIME AGREEMENT

First of all has the company been registered with corporate affairs commission? If yes, are you a registered share holder in the company? Very important.

Make sure everything is in black and white and use a lawer if need be for the agreement. I have had a very bitter experience from this kind of deal before because I was trying to be nice.

Re: Advice On Partnership Agreement? by Artorius(m): 3:13pm On Nov 19, 2015
I am going into the same thing, so I can understand your concerns.
Whose idea is the business? From what you are saying, your boss is more of an Investor and less of a partner. If that is correct, you should treat him as such. Or you might consider him a co-founder, with a small percentage of shares. No more than 30% logically, depends on what you both agree on.
I suggest that you hire a lawyer to give you legal advice on this, and read the terms of the agreement CAREFULLY, over and over again.
Good luck

Re: Advice On Partnership Agreement? by cowboyvs(m): 3:17pm On Nov 19, 2015
Hi Op , in response to your article, I will advise you get a Lawyer who shall X-ray the nitty gritty of the business and be able to advise you properly.

I am a Lawyer myself but I can't start advising if I don't have holistic knowledge of the business.

However, factors the Lawyer will enquire about in your interviewing session will includes;

1) The amount of Capital involved.
2) Agreed profit sharing formula
3) Your level of expertise and hw much man hours you are to put into the business
4) Procedure for admitting new Partners
etc.
Cheers and goodluck in your new business endeavour.

Just make sure ur capacity in the business is equated to a fat share in the business... because normally irrespective of who control the personnel of a business, business wise, the one man with a very high percentage stake controls what goes around... Just be careful not to fall into a master servant relationship and since its a joint venture make it a point of note that u will not report to him else he will be exerting control over u. my 2cent

I suggest you should not be greedy.
There are still more possibilities for you guys in the future if this works well.
Ask him as the financier what he plans as your stake in the finance and risk of the business. As well as control over operations.
Discuss this as this should be part of the business discussion.
What he says will open your eyes, guide you, put things in perspective and ultimately allow you know what you are in for.
