Are you thinking about the exit when you enter a partnership?

How you leave a deal matters just as much as how you start it. Buying someone out can get expensive fast, even if it felt right at the beginning. Protecting relationships is good, but structure and foresight protect your future.

Is your equity split actually fair based on contribution?

Equity only works when value is matched on both sides. When one person brings most of the revenue or effort, imbalance builds fast. Ownership should reflect real input, not just the original setup.

Does this person know how to handle money—or just make it?

Making money is one skill. Managing it and keeping priorities straight is another. People who have already gone through the early phases usually reinvest into growth, not distractions.
