Hi Matt, I had a question about your partnership.
When your friend asks you to join up with him on the site, what are the terms? Do you go 50/50 into the business, or was it less since he started out with it first?
I’m asking because I’m at a position where I may want to do the same thing and ask one of my close friends to partner up with me on my business, but I don’t know what’s fair to offer him. It’s a profitable business (affiliate sites and ad-based sites mainly) but I got it to profitability on my own without them.
What’s a good percentage of the company to give to them where they will have skin in the game and be a good partner, but also reflects that the business was built before his entrance into the company?
Also, when they join in and be a partner, should they have to buy into the company?
Thank you!
