yes do it! Just do it smart, friends are great to give reference to other friends.

Going into business with friends is always going to be a risky situation. Just make sure everyone is clear on their duties, expectation, and rights. In most cases, someone always gets dissapointed and it can be the end of a relationship, just make sure you do it 'smart' as another poster had previously mentioned.

it gets hard when they rock up at 11.30 and don't even stay late to make it up.

only had good times doing business with friends. the key is to write everything down on a paper and both sign it before you start .

i 99% agree to not do 'business' w/ friends or family, but my last business was extremely successful and it was w/ 2 close friends..... and they were brothers! family and friends- but it worked very well.
we also had a very open, VERY documented business structure and legal representation. made a huge differencce for sure...

Well funded friends maybe. Other than that friends with low budgets that you are doing a 'favor' for usually turn out to be a pain in the ass. Anyone agree?
