ForumsStarting a Business

I would like to know what is your business and are you looking for something unique to invest in.

I am also starting a business with a partner and could use the same advice. Because ultimately we will disagree on different issues and what are the pros and cons? Where will you be starting your fitness business. We are based out of San Diego

The business is in Personal Training, as well as a fitness clothing line.
No, we're not looking for something else to invest in! Thanks

Our business is based out of S.E. Michigan (about an hour northwest of Detroit)
The best part of a partnership is that we have each other to bounce ideas off of and to also share in the joys and hardships of business together.
I'd always thought that this would be something that I'd do alone, but when the right partner/opportunity came along, I didn't think twice. We have a unique combination of my marketing skills, and showmanships, where she has the ability to handle more of the "behind the scenes" stuff, such as accounting, taxes, book keeping. I think it helps to have a good mixture so that we can pick up on the other's weakness's and accell on the strengths.
Obviously, if you want all the glory, (or failures) to yourself, I certainly wouln't advise taking on a partner.
I've probably heard more on the negative side of having partners, than on the positive, but it's all a personal choice. Final word: Make sure that you consult with accountants and attorneys before deciding on any thing! They'll open your eyes to things that you've never even considered! Good & Bad!
Good luck in your fitness business!

What if one partner has more dollars invested than the other but the other runs the day to day(more time invested). Who should have more of a say?
