A recent survey by Photoroom, leader in AI photo editing, revealed that 74% of respondents have already talked to friends about the possibility of starting a business together. Did you know that big brands like Google, Microsoft and Apple were founded by friends? Starting and developing a business is not an easy task, not made overnight. The journey of entrepreneurship is filled with challenges, and finding the right partner is crucial
In light of the growing trend of entrepreneurship, the reflection on this form of business arises. According to the Photoroom survey, 88% believe that their best friend would be a great business partner. Entrepreneurship among friends may seem very easy, maybe even a dream, a game becoming reality, but it is important to be aware of the pros and cons of this choice
Still according to the study, 61% of respondents consider trust to be the greatest benefit of starting a business with friends, what facilitates transparent and fluid communication. Furthermore, 52% of participants highlighted the shared vision and values as significant advantages for maintaining a healthy and productive partnership
However, the level of involvement and intimacy can become a risk, because when mixing personal and professional life, the friendship can be impacted in the face of difficult decisions and crises – that are inevitable in the business world. The research showed that 46% of respondents see dealing with conflicts together as the biggest challenge of running a business with friends, followed by misunderstandings about finances
Communication and trust are essential pillars for any business, but especially when it comes to involving friends and family, I believe that the dreams of a successful business communicate with each other and the communication is naturally more transparent. Therefore, we also seek to be partners of entrepreneurs, offering solutions that support and enhance your business journeys.

To ensure a successful venture with friends, it is important to align goals and objectives. Put all the cards on the table, divide tasks according to training, qualities and skills of each one, discuss costs, projects and perspectives, professionalize the relationship and establish clear rules
With similar ambitions, complementary skills and open communication can transform great friendships into successful businesses like so many examples we have out there, highlights Rouif
