Taking on a business partner for the first time or introducing a new partner into your existing business can be a big step. Suddenly, someone else’s opinions really need to be considered!

Enterprise Geelong recently ran a Business Boot Camp Session with guest presenter Emma Welsh from Emma & Tom’s Food (and Juice).  Emma gave some valuable insights and advice on business partnerships.

Emma and Tom have known each other since they were kids.  Both had corporate careers, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, they both found themselves out of work around the same time.  They took the opportunity to start a business together.

“Sometimes it’s like having a second husband,” says Emma. But somehow their partnership has survived and is now in its 10^th year.

Emma’s secrets to having a business partner:

1. You must trust each other

2. Respect each others ideas and views

3. Have a shared vision and move the business in the same direction

Great advice.
