I was partners with my brother for a couple of years. It worked out pretty well. We split when I decided I wanted to give college a try. Looking back there was alot of unspoken pressure.

I have since opened a seperate company and still work with my brother on different jobs. Sounds pretty similar to what you guys are talking about, except instead of splitting the city, I take my leads, he takes his, and if the job looks more profitable with two men, one pulls the other in.

Would you share insurance, phone number etc.?? On the shared jobs, who would bid and bill, and how whould it get split? Who keeps the name if you two split?

I think it was Tiger's lawyer that said a partnership is like a marriage that you plan the details of divorce first.
