Not easy to choose a friend to become a business partner. Not all friends can be invited to work together. Here are the criteria that we can make friends business partners according to Ahmad Gozali, financial consultant from the Bureau of Financial Planners Safir Senduk & Partners:
1. Have Known a long time.
Make sure you already know their qualities, whether she's a hard worker or not, happy associate or a loner, rational or emotional, and so forth.

2. Ever had a big fight with her
When fighting, you so know what the original companions. If all this just get along-get along, maybe she was just showing you the bright side, while the worst hidden. Do not you just find yourself surprised that the original when the fight when doing business. This could damage the business that you have pioneered.
3. Ever take care of money with her
Money can change a person's personality 180 degrees. It would be better if you have any experience about money with him. Choose friends who skillfully manage finances. Do not even ask friends who treat money like water flowing.
4. Professional and appreciate the time
In spare time, friends can just relax. But when a business, she should be able to place themselves according to the demands of work. Time, business reputation and client trust is very precious. Avoid choosing friends who oversimplify things.
Having managed to find friends who are eligible, you also need to pay attention to the things you should do before starting to do business together:

5. Making a formal agreement
This Agreement shall be made in the form of black and white. This means that there is a written document. Although well-intentioned, may one day either party blunder. This document is useful as a reference to realign irregularities.
"You can go to a notary for this business, or you can create your own on paper or plain paper seal with stamp. Describe everything as detailed as possible, "said Ahmad. Create in two copies, for you and a friend, then signed.
6. Open an account
According to Ahmad, when his business is still small scale, you both just have one account in the name of one party only. A lot of waterfalls in the field could hold his ATM card and who works behind the desk to keep his savings book. If businesses have developed, you can both make a joint account (joint account).
7. Agreed to appoint a third person as mediator
It would be better if you already know who these people first. Thus you do not bother here and there looking for those who are willing to act as a mediator when problems occur. You can also engage a consultant or financial planner in the early pioneering effort. There is a fee to be paid if you use the services of consultants.
8. Diligent communication and always frank
If there are less comfortable in the hearts, reveal fine. Do not internalize it, hoping he would realize it themselves. Remember, you are only allowed to criticize from the side of the job, not personal. Tell him that you are doing is for the progress of joint efforts.
