Disputes between business partners can signify a rift in the business. In some cases, disputes can ruin your goals and potentially end your business. As a business partner, how can you protect yourself?
All partners should sign a written partnership agreement. This will protect everyone in the event of a dispute by defining the roles, responsibilities and expectations of all partners in the business. Business owners have the right to protect against lawsuits – including suits involving internal disputes that can not only harm your relationship with your other partners, but ultimately harm the success of your company.
Addressing issues before a dispute occurs
A partnership agreement should include an exit strategy. Why? To protect yourself from further damage if a dispute cannot be resolved or a partner passes away. Did you address the buy-out terms if one partner leaves or dies? We recommend addressing these issues in the agreement.
