If both of you and your love one wants to start a business, but you both want to be partnership the same time. Can it be easily managed, or would it become more complicated in relationship? I would definitely avoid this kind of relationship. You can't avoid the conflict in business disagreement be involved with your personal relationship with that person too. That is hard to achieve in reality. Don't you agree?

No i dont agree with you here. I and my love are shareholders in the same company and you would be surprised to know that he wishes to transfer even his stake in my name and has been doing so regularly making me a major holder of the company. He does all investments in my name. He never things about himself when it comes to money and likes to do all for me. If you have so much faith in your love then it is surely possible to have a very long and strong business relationship

This is very much possible. In fact, here in our country, there are a lot of businesses being run by family and most of them are very much successful. I think the great thing about having this is that you know your partner already. There is trust and confidence. Obviously, it would be easy to get along with.

Yes of course...why not? Being in a business relationship
is a good thing because you already knew your partner. It will
be easy when it comes to decision making.Because you already stablish
understanding with each other.

This is a great topic. For me, it is a good idea if you and your partner in a business partner. With that your relationship will be tested. On how you trusted each other. But with this, there are some advantages and disadvantages. Let me start first with a better or positive side. First, it can generate a big income to the two of you. Instead of hiring other people, only the two of you will work on the business.Another thing is that it will not be hard for you to handle the business since you are working with your partner. On the other hand, having some personal problems or misundersting in a realtionship will be a big disadvantage in running your business. It will lead to a lost of earnings.Hope this helps you. have a great day!!

I honestly would have trouble being my husbands business partner. I think a little away time at work is a good thing. I wouldn't want to be around the same person all day every day. There's eventually going to be some issues. Plus, there's always one person in the relationship who is responsible and one who.. well just isn't. My husband can not be trusted with finances, of any kind.
