I have been working on starting up a business and I am now reaching a point where I could use a partner, both in terms of funding and complementary skills. I have approached a colleague about this and he is interested. I am interested in finding out how people usually arrange this partnership/ownership. At this point the business has not even been incorporated yet and I prefer to maintain most of the ownership. I know that at some point we probably need a lawyer, but would like ot get some ideas here first.
