Seven deadly sins of partnership investment


As the value of the company is tied to the performance of the company, it is in the interest of the warring shareholders to argue and fight outside the company.

ONCE you get into your 50s and 60s, life is all about attending marriages and funerals. Similarly, in businesses, you would see more breakups in partnerships but life would go on for those still alive. Just like marriages, some partnerships do tend to break down due to so many varied reasons.

In the first place, couples normally get married because of love. Love of the heart, love of the money, and love of the parents (arranged marriages). Men have proven that they have a larger capacity to love more than one woman as can be seen from them having more than one wife while women are more specific as to the reasons on why they marry. Macam-macam as they say in Malay. In a sole proprietorship, life is simple and straightforward. You make all decisions and you sign everything. But you are liable for all liabilities and all legal matters. In professional partnerships, all partners are liable and as such the partners will have to spend a fair sum buying liability insurance. Each firm have their own unique shareholder/partnership agreement.
