relatives vs friends

I wouldn't mix bussiness with family/friends either, however I would perhaps like to start a bussiness with my mom; but just a small one and nothing really professional or anything. For a big bussiness and your lifes' work I would not choose to work with family and friends, because when things start to look ugly you can't give them a better position but you will have a hard time telling them if something is wrong.

Neither - get a professional manager in, whose employment is governed by contract. That way, if he does anything untrustworthy, you can take him to court. It's a bad idea to mix business with family/friendship

Well if you know your friends really well then you know who your true friends are and they can always be trusted.....so I would rather choose my friends than my relatives....especially knowing the kind of people my relatives are....It would be great if someone related to you can also be your friend.....

it would depend on who your reletives are, and who your friends are. age and experience. i would use those facts to determine if i'm able to leave my business in their hands. business is business..and unless they are experienced in running a business or management, i don't think i would trust them running it.

The golden rule is, never go into business with your friends or relatives. It will destroy your relationship.

When it comes to business, family can really try to take advantage of you. I think that friends may also. Actually strangers may be best to deal with as far as running a business.

relatives. i choose them because i trust them.if they betray me,i will call the other relatives to solve the problems.

I prefer friends coz u can share your secrets and they helps up but we cant tell our secrets to our relatives

business is still business. I'll choose people that match with my prinsipal of business, also have the same mission & vision, no matter they're relatives or friends

i would administrate by myself

i will trust on my friend. Actually i started a bussiness with one of my close relative but he cheated me after that i deside i will never do business with partnership, but one of my friend force me he told me just trust him once if he dont like his partnership then do what u think better. so i start with him n till today we r partners

Neither of them if not trustworthy, If I had no option then it wil be friends

Though I am in job, but if I prefer business, I would like to trust to run the business with friends only, not with relatives.

i think friends r more turst worth thn ,,,relatives ,,relatives can often cheat but we have close attraction with friends ///

Well i trust only my parents of my relatives, as my friends, the true friends, I completly trust them

It's very complex, out of my thinking

i havn't

nobody

yeh neither, both try rip u off

Probably friends. Blood isn't always thicker than water.
