    I wouldn't, not for anything more complicated than a boot sale.

    I meant for, which is with.

    As I said, have done it several times, repeated for one friend. As I said, if you're both good at what you do, and can detach yourself from the friendship aspect, then it's not biggie. I never do these things as a favour, I do them as a business opportunity, for I get paid market rate (or more as has happened), so we're both in their with our eyes wide open.

    Thanking you in advance for your cooperation,

    PS. Monica Bellucci's quite popular here, and it's well worth googling Federica Pellegrini
    Must restart the OAD thread

    If this is a start up, then the chances are it will fail at some point, simply because statistically most do. If the business goes down the tubes then things could get difficult.

    I've worked for mates spending other peoples money at my standard contract rates, and occasionally done small (non-sexual!) favours for beer or dinner. I don't know if I'd work for a friend starting their own business, it would depend on the friend and the business.

    started a topic Would you...

    Would you...

    Work for a good mate of yours? I gather accepting a job means losing a friend?
