Partners in Business
Business partners don't just happen by chance. It takes meeting new people, networking, driving down streets and seeing what locations are available, and having some luck in making a business partner happen.
Sometimes it just sees what storefronts are vacant and imagining what could go in next to your business. Some time it takes some phone calls with business owners and/or city representatives to see what is allowed into a vacant storefront.
Sometimes it takes meeting up with a friend or acquaintance at a bar and talking about things and asking "What if?" to each other.
We don't care how legal partnerships happen. We only care that they happen.
Finding the right business partner is like finding the right spouse - it can go so right with the right partner and can go so wrong with the wrong partner.
We want to make available a list or network of people and their skills so that the right business partner, for your business, is easily found. Granted, it still takes the chemistry of a few meetings. But we're here to show that Long Beach has all of those right people.
