How do I in safe hands my initial investment in an agreement between friends. what if he disappears?
Answers:
You can work on a contract that outlines the specifics of the investment, and what happen when the investment works (or doesn't). Also agree on the profit-sharing. Lastly, check that you own adjectives his contact details, but most crucial is his agreement to dance to a court if things turn sour.
Prepare to lose the friendship.
If you are worried nearly this, don't sort the investment.
If he disappears, and this is not a loan near collateral, you are screwed.
ALWAYS GET A CONTRACT SIGNED IF YOU DONT YOU DONT HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON IF HE DOES DO ONE
