what would you do to know your partners in business?

Partnerships are very touchy because, like a sole-proprietorship, the owner(s) assume 'unlimited liability' for the business activity.  In the event the business is sued, there is no legal separation of the business from the owner; they are one in the same.  Therefore, they can come after your personal assets to satisfy the business settlements.  In a partnership, the same applies, only each partner is held responsible for the actions and activities of the other partners, regardless of your knowledge or support of those activities.\n\nUnlimited liability is the main reason why most businesses incorporate.  There are some other forms of business ownership that gray the lines among those three, but I'm not as familiar with those.\n\nBest wishes.

Unless they admit or you catch them at it - you cant find out.\n\nYou just have to trust your partner or you'll push them into the arms of someone else anyway.

If you don't know by now, then your relationship is not deep enough to call that person your "partner." If you have been with them long enough to merit this title, then you must work more on your communication in general.

make a list of ALL those things which drew you two together, and a list of all those things which work between you. build from there, and perhaps gently talk about those things to your partner, have your partner try the same thing. It is a beginning place to start.  the key is, you have to find it for yourself,,,

Have a strategy meeting with your 'partner'.  Break down the steps to completion of the project beforehand.  Give them choices of what they would like to take on while you take on another portion of the project.  Schedule a followup meeting to see what the progress of both of your work is.  \nYou have to be careful not to appear too assertive or like you are the boss of the project.  As long as some people know that you will take on the entire project if they slack off - they will slack off.  They have no integrity or work ethics, but they are happy to pick up the paycheck.

Refer to your partnership agreement.  You do have a legal agreement, right? If not, find a lawyer and be prepared to write some unpleasant checks.

ask him about the company and how it is doing and what his job is about and how hard was it to get that job and education it took to acheive it. personally ask him about his family and where he lives and what his personal intersts are. also talk about any improvements that you would like to see happen with the company  and ask him what he would like to see for improvements. relax and realize he just wants to get to know you as a person and co worker and if he can depend on you to back him up in a bind. relax and be yourself
