I would consider someone for business partnership if I am able to trust them and their ability to handle the business. I will consider them if he/she shares the same professional values, ideas and goals and how they handle everyday life and business decisions. If i haven’t worked with them previously, I would test the partnership by tackling a small project together that showcases each other’s skills and requires cooperation. I think it will also depend if the ownership of the business will be equally divided or partially. If the partnership is equally divided who will be making the decisions. Also, all the business details must be documented in the agreement.
