This briefing supports initial preparation and discussion. It is general information, not legal, tax, investment, regulatory or technical advice.
Define the partnership sought
State the product, opportunity, geography, capacity requirement, commercial model and timetable. Clear criteria make research and qualification more useful.
Research before approaching
Confirm basic relevance and apparent capacity using lawful sources. Avoid sending broad proposals to organisations whose mandate or business model does not fit.
Qualify the first conversation
An introductory meeting should test mutual relevance, decision authority, resources and the next evidence required. It should not be presented as a completed partnership.
Separate coordination from due diligence
Local coordination can organise information and discussions. Legal, financial, technical and regulatory due diligence remains with qualified advisers and the contracting parties.
Document the next step
Record what was agreed, who owns each action and when the parties will review progress. If there is no responsible next step, there is not yet a working partnership.
