And assume there are 2 partners.<br /><br />1. Is it possible to split the start-up cost 80-20, but share the profits 60-40? Reason could be because Partner A is more of investor approach, whereas Partner B takes on additional duties such as sourcing for location, oversee the renovation, and when the business start running he supervise the daily operations such as inventory management and finance.<br /><br />2. And if lets say the business makes a loss instead, what happens? Will the partners continue to put in money using the same 80-20 ratio?<br /><br />In such an arrangement, what are the things that each partner must be careful of? It would be good if can share some real-life experiences also.<br /> knightsky Finance, Business and Investment House Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:22:16 +0800
