This is not rocket science although we have sold product to NASA. I started Perllo 7 years ago, my background is engineering so the company is obviously structured around what I know. I also have extensive knowledge and history sourcing products in China and Europe. After starting Perllo it opened some other doors in design and then managing the new company. I became a large shareholder and the company was sold last year.
In my current position I can keep continuous sales leads coming to Perllo. My partner would manage sales activities, quotations, sales visits, basically all the business activities. I have managed all of this in the past and will help with the transition, it is quite easy. Today my wife handles daily accounting, I use a CPA firm for filings.
I am open to new products, ideas, markets, services, we can broadened and or redirected the company to take advantage of new opportunities.

Bottom Line - Looking for a 50/50 partner that will help me grow/expand this business. Young with enthusiasm or experienced with contacts?
