In a perfect world:

-find folks for whom the $$'s you need are peanuts.
-from this list eliminate the folks that insist on participating in the bsns.
-from this list elimiate folks who want double digit returns immediately.

Consider an LLC arrangement where losses are allocated to the non-mgt members/investors as an incentive.

In an imperfect world:

-Get and review financial statements from the people you are considering. do NOT take their word on things like net worth, liquidity, etc. Possibly have a CPA review their info. There are crooks out there who will be happy to dump your bsns in the toilet if they can pull $10k out of it for themselves.

-Shoot for a partner you think is a better person than you. bring yourself up, not down.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
