Partner Session

A partner session is a constructive discussion among business co-owners (partners) about possible scenarios (both negative and positive), aimed at developing and agreeing on solution options, including:

Synchronizing concepts among partners
Defining and distributing roles and expectations
Agreeing on each partner's contribution and responsibility, including labor functions
Developing and agreeing on solutions and action plans for various scenarios
Discussing "uncomfortable questions" that are usually not raised by partners

The partner session is conducted by a certified business partnership architect, tax consultant, and managing partner of "Usconsult" LLC, Evgeniya Bondarenko.

Questions Partners Should Discuss Before Starting a Business, Introducing a New Partner, or Transferring a Share to an Employee:

What will we do in case of success? And in case of failure?
What resources does each partner contribute to the company?
How is working time determined, and how are vacations and partner compensation agreed upon?
What are the company's vision and values?
How will we divide the company/money/rights to content/employees/contracts, etc., in case of separation?
What do we do if one of the partners is no longer available?
How will profits be distributed (proportionally or not, not distributed until a certain point, or calculated by some formula)?
How will conflicts be resolved? Can a partner be excluded from the partnership, and on what grounds? When and under what conditions can a forced buyout of a partner's share be carried out?
Who is in charge? Who has veto power and the final say on certain matters? How are decisions made, and how is the right of veto activated?

The absence of rules creates a desire to establish one's own rules.
For example, if partners have not agreed on the terms of business division in advance, when one of the partners comes to this idea, they will act according to their own understanding.
In practice, such understandings lead to the ousting of the other partner and severe corporate conflicts.
Such conflicts destroy the partnership and the business.
