Tired of going it alone? Is the burden of making all the decisions, providing all the financing and working continuously more than what you anticipated? Or perhaps you’re missing key elements for your business such as assets, skill sets, products or services that could propel your business to the next level. All these reasons and more are enough to hinder the growth of a would-be successful business; therefore, finding a business partners could be the answer to your predicament. The primary reasons, I believe, one seeks to find a business partner is to maximize profit while minimizing risk and effort. I know you’re probably thinking of the old adage which equates partnerships to marriages and we all know how a lot of marriages turn out. But unlike a marriage, a good partnership is not built on emotions and feelings but sound analytical judgment. If executed correctly, a good partnership will add value to your business.
Partnership or Strategic Alliance: Don’t worry a partnering agreement doesn’t have to be a lifetime commitment. In fact, you can and should create a strategic alliance as a way of testing the viability of the potential partnership before you sign a contractual agreement to form a partnership. A strategic alliance by definition is usually less formal and typically has a specific end date. You can develop a strategic alliance with a business or entrepreneur. It can be for a specific project, task or the obtainment of a particular product or service. Developing a strategic alliance first, will allow you to test the arrangement before determining if something more lasting can be established.
Choose a partner that is complementary: It may be tempting to choose someone who is just like you, but this will not make a business successful, as you want someone who can bring different skills, experience and know how. No person is a master of all things, if you are skilled in finances you may want to choose a partner who is skilled in sales and marketing. The combining of different skills allows for greater innovation, more ideas, better planning and a greater chance that your business will be successful.
