Nashville: OP,

Let me tell you the very simple fact. You do not owe him anything ok, unless there is something you are not telling us. You started a business, you took all the risk alone and all the wahala alone. Now that the business is making money, you cannot afford to share the profits with anyone.

Dont take a loan from him @ 15% per month. If you can, go to the bank to get a loan but dont take anything from him. Your friend wants to reap where he did not sow and business partnership is not by force.

Remember that - you owe him nothing!

caesaraba: A lot of us biz people who are willing to take risks and venture into the unknown experience this from time to time. Those close to you will sit down and even discourage you when u are starting up a biz, then turn around to tell you they wanna "partner with you" so that the biz can grow. In other words, now that you have gotten something that works, they want to invest so that "monkey go dy work while baboon go dy chop."

See, since you have finally found how to grow your biz, don't go into any partnership abeg. Knowing that you fully control your biz lets you sleep well at night with peace of mind especially on those 'low-tide' periods when biz might not be moving too well. (You won't have to worry about how you are goin to settle a partner).

He has tried for you in the past. Run yor business and when you have enough, also pay him back by doing some favors to him. Simple! That's how life should be. The fact that he helped u does not mean you are his subject in anyway.

Of will ruin your relationship, then fine! Better that than entering a partnership and when things don't go well it will not only ruin your relationship but also give room for all sorts of name-bashing, police case, etc. you read my mind! Na serious monkey they work o since your biz is picking up small small,face your front small small Oga it's better for you

Wish you the very best in your venture. Peace.

datola:



He owes him a lot. Remeber the Op said the firend has been there for him through life/school.

He just need to apply wisodom in not involving him in the bsiness.

@Op, please find any way possible (but do not involve him in the bsuiness so as not to create future problems) to settle your friend who was there for you when you had nothing.

I'm happy for you for doing a profitable business

All the best!

When I said he owes him nothing. I meant he is not indebted to him beyond friendship. If he can help his friend, by all means he should, but business partnership is a whole new world.

okwutency: Nairalanders pls I need help. I have a business I established. Initially, it looks like the stress was too much and now the biz seem to be growing small small.

And I have this very close friend that has been help from secondary school, in fact almost all the cloths I’ve is from him. He never showed interest in this biz until recently that it looked like I’m going to make huge profit, then he came with the idea of being my partner in the biz. He said he’l bring half of the money in the biz now and then after every month, we share the profit 60% and 40%.

I didn’t agree in this idea and asked him to start his own biz, he said it’s not advisable for 2 friends to be producing the same thing in the same area and he can’t do it. And I also told him that even if I’m going to do the partnership thing, it’l not be now, that my biz has not grown to that level that he should wait till I made great achievement in it. If I do it now, I’l loose interest in the biz and the whole thing will collapse. This issue is trying to brake our relationship. Pls advise me.

Pls I want to ask, when is it advisable to make partnership in biz? Is it when the biz is started, growing or grown. Pls I need answers with reason.
