Looking for a business partner

I've been thinking a lot about business partnerships lately, particularly in construction and real estate.

One thing I've noticed is that two people can have completely different strengths. One person may be strong technically and creatively, while another may be much better at finance, sales, operations, negotiations and business development.

In my experience, the challenge isn't necessarily finding someone with money. It's finding someone whose strengths genuinely complement yours and who is willing to build the business hands-on.

For people running businesses in Rwanda:

**What do you think makes a successful business partnership here?**

Is it shared capital, complementary skills, networks, trust, industry experience, or something else?

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually partnered with someone to build a business in Rwanda.
