Hi,

I am currently in talks with a large company regarding a possible partnership with my small company.
I am looking for advice on the pro’s and con’s of a partnership with the larger company as opposed to just renting space within the larger company fascility and vice versa??

I am strongly considering the partnership option and feel that by the large company having shares in my company would give them more incentive to grow my company and also give us more access to there resources.

THOUGHTS??

Interesting… Innovation often comes from the ground up — or the small business up. For small businesses to take advantage of these opportunities, they need to be known. Networking within their local, online and industry community helps — the more people know you and what you do, the better, since some of those people will likely work at large businesses.

This is something not surprising for me, and I really think this is a good strategy they’re doing. Small businesses will “upgrade” while big companies will have less risk of going berserk because they will have a stable partner or “hand to hold.”

When it comes to small business challenges, you will quickly find that even the biggest of obstacles can be overcome if you are willing to stick it out. This is something that you are going to need to do from time to time, as small business is something that always seems to be the target for hard times. The economy and the lack of spending, is something that will take its toll on the smaller businesses.
