Will a Partnership Work for Me?
A partnership involves two or more business owners who agree to share in the profits of a business. This could take many forms. In some cases it could mean a “silent partner” who provides capital but stays out of the decision-making process.
It is important to trust who you will be working with and to set up agreements for how disputes will be handled, how responsibilities will be divided and who gets what share of profits.
Consider a Joint Venture to Enter New Markets
Joint ventures are a type of partnership between two or more companies. These can be temporary, say to compete for a certain project, or long-lasting. Businesses typically use them to broaden their business’ reach to new customers and markets. Like a partnership, it will be important to protect your interests through a formal agreement that spells out responsibilities and profit sharing.
LLCs May Work for Those Who Wish to Make Their Own Decisions
LLCs offer certain advantages over forming partnerships or other types of solo businesses. As an LLC owner, you can enjoy reduced personal financial exposure to business losses. There are also benefits in tax filing, paperwork and government regulation.
If you wish to run your business with more flexibility than a corporation, an LLC may be the best fit.
