Partnership has always been popular throughout the ages, as it is a pooling of resources to effectively achieve goals. But here, as they say, I have a story...

There were two partners in Moscow, owners of a weapons enterprise with good volumes. Business was booming, and they never legally formalized exit from disputes or the partnership. They lived without worries, made money, everything was great.

But this story would not have seen the light if the following had not happened:

An offer came from a major player who wanted to buy their enterprise. One partner was ready to sell the company, the other was determined to turn it into a major player on his own. In the end, as they say, greed ruined the fool.

As a result, confrontation began between the partners, each trying to push the other out of the business, each seeing the company's future development differently. Miracles don't happen in this world, so while there was infighting at the top, the business began to decline, leaving both without the company and with eternal hatred for each other.

Neither of them was ever able to build anything similar in scale and income; they live a very average life, often recalling that situation.

The moral of this fable is very simple: If you enter into a partnership, formalize not only shares and basic information, but also exit from the business, resolution of disputes, and options for action when all compromises are exhausted, because no partnership is without crises.
