Trust is something that plays a key role when it comes to business, because a business involves inflow and outflow of fund that leads to operation of bank account. And if your mind and heart does not allow you to trust your partner in this regard then step back.

2. Trial run to experience:
It is always good to choose a person with whom you have worked for some specific time e.g. a Project. Because it allows you to analyze how a person works with a team and handle a situation. But if you have not worked with the potential partner, then it would be best to do a trial run before taking the final decision.

3. Friendship:

4. Don’t partner, to escape hiring:

5. Different Strengths:
To ensure some balance and flourish, choose a partner who compliments your skill for the better of the business. E.g., Say if you excel in sales and your partner in execution, this would make a better option to work effectively on different areas but with a same motive.

6. Money matters:
Clarified thoughts regarding the money investment as well as profit distribution plays a vital role. If there is any kind of dis-agreement then step back.

Discuss and decide regarding the terms of the contracts to avoid any kind of disagreements. Set regulations for all the kind of possibility that may arise to see how they handle situations in reality.
