Co-Owners. How Not to Turn a Company into a Battlefield and Make Business Partnership Long-Lasting, Reliable, and Profitable

In business, informal agreements are not enough. Poorly defined shares, areas of responsibility, and influence create unmet expectations. And then — conflict, loss of business and relationships. The authors are Dmitry Grits, a lawyer and the creator of the partnership... session methodology, who has worked on over 1600 partnerships, and Dmitry Kibalov, an entrepreneur and investor, co-founder of MoS Igri, PartyStation, and other companies. This book is a remedy for misunderstandings and problems in business partnerships — from startup to corporation. From it, you will learn: - why a share in a business is not about voting rights; - how merchant's word, partnership agreement, and charter will help in co-ownership; - what "exile", "drop-off", and "self-evacuation" mean and when they will help to part ways with a partner in an environmentally friendly manner. Master co-ownership — a skill for the future — to properly build relationships with people. After all, they are the ones who determine the outcome you will achieve.
