So, this post is for you if:

You’re at the stage of your business where you’re feeling that it’s time to come to the table and sign an agreement.

Perhaps you’ve been casually pursuing a shared vision with a group of people that you feel aligned with for some months (or more) already;

Whether that be a fund, a consulting business, a regenerative land project or a tangible innovation.

Maybe you’ve been having regular conference calls, and the occasional meetup;

Seeing who organically keeps contributing and showing up with continuity over time;

Expanding on the visioning of a future together that requires and invites the interplay of your diverse gifts combined.

It’s probably been an enjoyable ride so far….

…..offering a good opportunity to see that you vibe well together.

But you can also sense that it’s time for the next phase — to move from things being amorphous and undefined to crystallizing something with clarity and certainty.

Perhaps because you have prospective clients, partners or investors lined up and you now need some paperwork to facilitate the funds coming in (in right alignment and right relationship).

So where do you start?

How do you know what kind of business vehicle you want to create?
