Protect Your Business from Recession by Fixing Your Partnership

Email of the week:

Chris, there’s a lot of tension in our partnership. I’m worried about recessionand think we should be careful about spending. My partner wants to expand now. What do you advise?

Is Recession Coming? Yes.

Let me start by saying that I believe recession is coming. I predicted the 2008 recession. I also put out strong warnings months ago for the recession that is coming soon. So, yes, I believe there is a dangerous recession right around the corner. 

Of even greater concern to me is the state of global politics. Tensions are rising all over the globe. The U.S. and China are in a nasty trade dispute. China is facing a serious challenge in Hong Kong. Britain is pulling out of the EU in a nasty way. India and Pakistan are at each other over Kashmir. Iran is seizing ships. Venezuela is in chaos. Anti-American sentiment is rising in Mexico. The world is in a fragile state. The powder is dry and we must be careful of a spark that could cause a major explosion.

Should You Expand Your Business or Not?

That depends on the business. If the economy gets tough, will more people come to your business? Remember, people seek necessities and bargains when money is tight. Do you offer an essential service or product or something that can wait? That’s the biggest deciding factor.

Fix Your Partnership NOW

Before you make decisions about expansion or cuts in the business, get your partnership in order. When business partners feud, it hurts the business. When business partners get on the same page and work together, the enterprise has a much higher chance of surviving a major downturn in the economy.

Talk. Patch up your differences and then set measurable goals together. If you can’t do that, get an expert to help you talk through the problems and help you set those goals.

If you do that, the rewards will be huge.

Business partnerships can be a fantastic way to pool resources and knowledge in order to create a successful enterprise. However, even the most well-intentioned partnerships can break down if certain warning signs are ignored. In this post, I will point out the 5 red flags that should never be ignored when you see them in your business partnership and provide you with guidance on how to deal with them.

Eventually a partner is going to want to leave the business. Plan ahead advises Chris Reich of TeachU.

Plan for the Day a Partner Wants to Leave the Business

If you have read my other posts, you know I strongly encourage people who form Partnerships to create a Partnership Agreement. The document must specify how a Partner can leave the Partnership voluntarily while ensuring that the business is protected from two potential disasters: firstly, by avoiding terms that could bankrupt the business, and secondly, by preventing the admission of unplanned Partners.
