In this blog post we look at how you can go about managing change in business partnerships. Have a read so you are prepared if the time comes for your business partnership.

Partnerships are subject to change. People are involved in business partnerships. Everyone is different and everyone has changes in their own lives. These changes can affect the business partnership. When in a business partnership you need to ensure you are prepared for managing changes. Prepare for inevitable shifts to avoid the partnership coming across unexpected surprises.

It is important that business partnerships clearly state protocol for better change managing. You need to establish and clearly outline how new partners can be admitted into the business. It is essential that this process is conducted transparently. It must also be done in accordance with the wishes of the existing partners in the partnership.

You must also have a protocol in place for partners leaving the business partnership. A partner may leave on a voluntary basis or involuntarily. There needs to be a legal process in place to better manage this change. This needs to outline the procedures for withdrawal and the implications for the continuation of the business partnership.

While a business partnership is often forged with the intent of it lasting, this does not always happen. To ensure you are managing change in business partnerships you need to contemplate the possibility of dissolution. Within your business partnership you need to outline how and why a partnership could be dissolved.
