Some very good advise given here. Make sure you know the difference between and investor and a partner. Giving up control in a business you have started could lead to trouble. Don't do it with friends, the odds are good things will not work out. I formed a partnership with a guy 7 years ago business first. He is many things I am not. He has become one of the very best friends I have ever had. He brings many experiences that I have not had. It's a balance that works. Make sure you have similar finance practices and goals. Choose wisely as said earlier in the thread it is one of the more important decisions you will ever make.
