First up lulu - awesome for you to make this decision!

DH ahs recently started his own business as a sole trader, and even though that is kicking off, he has decided to go into partnership in another business, doing baiscally the same thing, with soemone he KNOWS.

One MAJOR thing that they are doing is to set the bsiness up as a trust - so that if one of them screws up, the other will still be fine.

They are getting some pretty good legal advice so I would advise for you to do the same thing - if you can find the right person!
