Summary
When forming a partnership in a home healthcare business, consider factors like contributions, experience, and effort to determine a fair profit-sharing agreement.

Include an exit strategy where Partner B receives $5,000 per client upon termination, with no further ties to clients and no attempts to poach them. Adjust clauses as needed for a comprehensive agreement.Full Conversation
