As the title suggests, how would one go about locating partners for their lines of business? Is it just a case of call the company up and ask? Or more of a case of showing them your business plan and persuading them into affiliating with you?

The smaller companies may be quite easy to reach, as the main people could easily be phoned or emailed. However, how does an individual get in touch with the right people at larger corporations? As an example, if I were to seek a contact so that my site is able to have 'working in partnership with Intel' on it for a more professional profile, who would be contacted?

My initial thoughts were to send off an email to a specific department and just wait for a reply. Predictably, I may be wrong though.

The link above explains how to become an Intel Software Partner. It is pretty much the same for most of the bigger companies. Some, such as AMD, do pick and choose their own however.

Unsure if intel was just your example or not?

Well, I am looking to be able to partner up with a handful of companies. So long as they are able to accept me. wink

I didn't have a look on the site as it's late and I'm off to bed in a bit. So thanks for that Martin. It's not just big companies but ones who are able to make a difference to me and my clients really.
