Would you go into business with friends or family?

Would you go into business with friends or family?

I couldn't imagine going into business with friends or family because I believe it would be an absolute disaster. Although it's good to have unity,its best to conduct business on your own.

Depending on what type of business you go into, I would hire friends and family if I plan to open something bigger than a one person style business (example a store or restaurant)

If it is small sales or travel agency you could probably do fine in a home office.

It is all about how BIG you want to get and how far you want to go.

Almost all small businesses started have there friends and/or family involved not only is it the right way but it's the African way.

I can see why you think it would be horrible.

But i voted family and i would have voted friends too if multiple options were allowed.
Its the traditional way, the way of the community.
