    Free work doesn't pay off and unappreciated. Should I cover the cost as well?

    Starting a business with a friend.

    Hahaha I just asked my question regarding "friend" and saw your post. Funny enough this "friend" of mine also asked me to join in a business venture with her. ( me to cover the cost and do the work of course ). Glad I didn't go ahead with it after many discussions around funds and shares. Just...

    Start up partnership business shares

    Thanks for suggestion! Much appreciated and will take into account! The reason I can't take my wages is because the business can't afford my wages at the start. I'll have to put money in to pay myself so it doesn't make sense, whereas her wages will be paid when we have customers booking in...
