Hi,
Many businesses achieve success through win-win partnerships. Still, be careful when negotiating an agreement that involves intellectual property.

Yes, very good advice. Always good to check with FTC and such to make sure that company is good too.

if you're doing a one-on-one partnership or joint venture, always do your due diligence in ensuring your partner has a stellar reputation. If your partner is a scammer or someone who doesn't know what he's doing, you will get painted with the same brush.

I agree, I think strategic alliance is much better.
