along with a close friend, i started an agency about six years ago. it lasted about two years.
about six months into our venture, we finally felt secure enough to hire full-time designer and developer. we also felt out projects were shifting into a certain direction. at the time, we thought to hire an expert in that industry was not financially feasible, so we decided to bring on an acquaintance of hers. bad mistake. though he brought on his knowledge; also came along his baggage.
the worst came after a year, as we found out he and our accountant had been collaborating in skimming our income. the whole ordeal took away my spirit and eventually i sold my share to my friend. and we kind of drifted apart after since.
in my opinion, if you can do it on your own, do it. but if you have to have a partner, i think it would be better to find a financial partner instead.
