This is a very useful discussion for me, as we've also been approached by a half-dozen folks partnerships in the past two years.
Those discussions did not result in an actual partnership, and the experience instead led us to decide to focus on the following two options: *A Licensing Model * Essentially your own business under your own entity and brand, but *powered by Office Divvy ™* where we offer access to our systems, procedures, network, --available at different levels. *A Franchise Model* Your own business, DBA as *Office Divvy ™ *with all operations, systems, policies running as an *exact duplicate* of our own operations. Before we pull the trigger to have clear formulas and pricing for these options, we wanted to prove to ourselves first that our systems will actually hold up for duplication and for licensing. That's why we've just launched our second location (and did that close to home, only 8 miles away). Of course time will tell whether we can execute on the above options for 3rd-party involvement/expansion. I did benefit from the discussion and ideas under this thread, and for that, thank you.
