Hello, I am having a very difficult time finding a biz partner, for a new franchise/license I have recently purchased.

I want someone to assist in all aspects of this biz, I don`t need an employee. 

The problem I am running into is that everyone wants to be a partner, but has no money to invest and maintain the biz.  I have already put out the cost of the biz, and again need someone to come to the table with the same that I am, money, time, hard work, and great energy.

Also  I know know where to look to find someone in my local area, or even my state.

Can anyone advise.

Thank you

Hi Dyana, I am having the same problem and I`m not even looking for money.

I don`t know if this would be of any help to you, but you could try posting an opportunity at PartnerUp.

Dyana,
      It`d be helpful to know what type of business/franchise you`ve purchased.  You can reach a great deal of people through this site.  I think you`d get more replies if you told everyone a little more about the business.
      As far as the partner, I`d recommend think about what the ideal partner would be for you.  I understand the financial support is a major concern for you, but what else?  Think about the skills that you`re not as strong in (perhaps financial accounting, strategic planning, people management, etc.) and look for a partner that is strong in those areas.  Then you`ll really have a dynamic management team!
     Best wishes for every success.

Thank you both Paul & Michelle, you are both very right, so I changed the "posting" and it is listed below, since the change I have gotten some response.

I am looking to partner up with either an Event Planner or PR/Publicist. Some who wants to add on to their existing business.   I am looking for a Partner/Co-Director for a National Beauty Pageant. Please do not respond if you don’t have the time or money to assist with this biz.

I have purchased a franchise/license to be the NY State Director for a National Beauty Pageant for women 18-26 yrs old.

I need a partner to share in the biz, which includes sharing the work, the time and the cost/expenses and profit. As mentioned I have already purchased the franchise. We will be sharing the biz. I am located in Westchester County, New Rochelle. So I need someone from either NYC or Westchester that also does not mind so form of travel.

I am not going to mislead you, there will be a lot of work to make this pageant a success, which is why I feel a PR/Publicist or experienced event planner, would work best for this biz.

The following are some of the things that need to be accomplished.

1.                  Setting the date 2008 for our pageant, getting ready for Nationals in New Orleans summer of 2009.

2.                  Securing a venue

3.                  Setting up/registering the biz

4.                  Creating a website

5.                  Promoting the pageant to get contestants

6.                  Getting sponsors for us, and assisting the contestants in getting their own sponsors.

7.                  Securing community service organizations for the contestants (that is a requirement for them)

8.                  Setting up workshops for the contestants

9.                  Finding the vendors needed for the pageant.

10.              Need to be available for meetings, but will work from your home.

If you are ready to add to your existing biz, or ready to take on a new challenge, then I want to speak with you.

I am looking to get started by 3/1/08. Please feel free to send me an email with your contact information, why you feel you will make a good partner on this biz, what you have done with your biz, etc.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you

Thanks again.
