I am deciding to take on an interested partner. He would put up any costs needed and wants 50% of all sales. I want complete artistic control of the photos, design, and artwork. I have no business or finance background. He does. He also has a friend in the garment business whom can get possible meetings with Guess and Fred Segal.
I am worried about not having control of the finances.. and wondering if I should get things rolling on a smaller scale on my own. I already have one boutique interested.
This has slowed me down considerably as the potential partner is awaiting the prototypes and I cannot decide. Ahhhhh.. any advice or ideas from anyone?
