✓ What are the exit provisions?

Risk Areas in Pharmacy Partnerships

✓ Unequal workload expectations

✓ Governance ambiguity

✓ Dividend distribution disputes

✓ Buy-sell agreement gaps

Structuring for Long-Term Alignment

A properly structured partnership agreement should clearly define:

  • Capital contributions

  • Exit mechanisms
