Business partnerships can be a great way to launch new projects or expand your business’s reach. Without clear structure and aligned expectations, however, partnerships can also create risk and conflict. This webinar is designed to help small business owners and entrepreneurs understand how to lower their  risk while getting the best value out of working with other businesses. Whether a partnership is for one project or ongoing, we will review important steps to protect your business and set the collaboration up for success.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Common ways to structure business partnerships and collaborations
  • Key considerations when evaluating a potential business partner
  • Essential legal protections every small business partnership should have
  • How to clearly define partnership terms upfront, including roles, responsibilities, profit-sharing, and decision-making authority

Whether you are in the early stages of discussing a potential collaboration or preparing to formalize a deal, this session will help you ask the right questions and avoid common pitfalls.
