Dear LIB readers: Is it wise to invest in my boyfriend's business?

From a female LIB reader
My boyfriend of three years is at the moment unemployed but he has shown his desire to do something just to keep himself going. I am at the moment thinking of investing my leave allowance (I work in a bank) into his proposed business but I am skeptical on doing so as he hasn't popped the question yet but we have talked about getting married. Would it be a wise decision to invest in his business since we are just lovers or I should wait until we get married?

    Profession not Lovers.....

  9. Don't even try it.Don't start what you can't finish.Allow him to hustle like his mates do,afterall his ego didn't even allow him to ask for help from you.I like his kinda person,don't spoil him!

  10. *drags ear* Dnt bring out anything! Don't u have siblings to set up? Afi boyfriend. Lol na today? You will soooo regret

    ReplyDelete
  11. Well,,, I think it is wise! You're dating him because you trust him, right? There's nothing wrong in that... Can't you invest in a friend's business that is not ur boyfriend??? Go on and invest... And if he has sense, he'll marry you but he can't propose marriage now when he's broke so assist him and chill.

  12. Hi. Would you do this for a friend? If the answer is yes then I think you should go ahead. It's not all about 'what if he leaves?' Something we are in people's life for a reason. My take

    ReplyDelete
  13. It is ur moni,you cn help him...dnt regret it if he ends up wit another lady @Joyce

    ReplyDelete
  14. Its nt wise. Talkin frm experience. Wld advice u gv him a token t add t whatever he has. Dat way,he wldnt b indepted t u n u to him. My advice.

    ReplyDelete
  15. It won't be wise to invest all you have into it. But my dear you can invest something to help him, even if he doesn't appreciate it tomorrow you leave him to God. Nevertheless, do it with a clean heart after all some married me even leave their wives in marriage so what are we talking about?

    ReplyDelete
  16. My Dear, wait until u guys are married. At least after the court wedding which can be any time before all the other weddings. Invest in a husband not a boyfriend.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Its a very dicey one dear, his reason of not proposing all these years might be because of his financial status.
    The only safer way to go about it,it to see it that you're investing in a friend. Don't expect too much. So you won't be disappointed.

  18. The fact that u asked means you shouldn't.

  19. My dear, pls wait till ur married, @least u knw ur his wife, Girlfriend no get insurance ooooooooooo.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Please don't try it, am talking Frm experience...invested more than 2.7million in my boyfrnd(now husband) he doesn't appreciate at all I cater for all my needs as I talk to u n he doesn't really care...we daated for 8 good years..pls don't am telling you...am nt talking to him now sef cos he has bin making me think and regret doing wat I did as I don't av a job and don't have money to travel n get goods like I used to cos I invested in him. Men are wicked o...soon he'll tell u it's for d benefit of u both n u shudnt be bothering him asking for ur money back...

    Hehehehe!!! Pekele Pekele..Arugbo je gbese...ta ni o san!!! Babes! I'm not 'saying' u shldnt invest in ur bf's buisness! Buh hw abt if after all ur 'investments' ur whole thing wid him goes down the drain??! Would u nt refer back to the investment u made??! My Opinion: I feel you shld jus sit and relax, let him source for funds by himself and begin the buisness. And if he has begun already, show him all of the support u can. Just dnt put all ur cash into it yet.

    It can be seen in two ways...
    First I'd say 'he'll no'. We know how boys can be... after suffering wit them, they'd just abandon u n get a new girl to enjoy with.
    Secondly, I'd say, just help him for the sake of love cos u don't know where he'd be tomorrow

    Just follow your heart!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. if you love him and trust him, theres nothing in it. but u have to know all there is to know about him.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Don't try it,just give him as a gift. Don't give it bcos u want him to marry u biko.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You berra dnt try it! Whatever happened to investing in ur own bizness? Ppl change at anytime ooo so take heed of these words!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. The men and foolish women will ask you to support him.
    Make I tell you truth,separate your money from your relationship.na make he go hustle.he will dump you last last.and e go,pain you more because you invested.

    That's how men are.hian!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Its 50/50 chance,I will advise you to invest half of the amount u have in mind....incase tins change.....

    ReplyDelete
  28. I won't advise you to.....if you two are married,it would still be advisable for u too.Think wise

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would suggest you help as because you love him not because you want him to marry you that way if anything happens you won't be disappointed. Better still u can enter a paper agreement with him that he is going to pay you back it doesn't matter if you guys are dating.

    ReplyDelete
  30. NO! 3 years no proposal? I don't think he is serious about you-don't let him use you. He might marry you if you invest but it will be because of the money.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I wouldn't advice you to risk it. Please wait until you guys get married.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ezeukwu, see me wey dey find investor since. If you want to, do it but register the biz in both but names, do two to sign, approve inventory and check sales. Also keep the original copies of the registration so if he needs to open another bank account you would know. This is coming from a man by the Way.

  44. All i read was the title, don't know the story, don't care. What i do know? mixing business with anything doesn't ever work. Literally one in a billion. Business is business, money is money, mixing it with love and family or whatever hardly turns productive. My advice? its a BAD IDEA.

    ReplyDelete
  45. What if he doesn't get a job till you guys get married? It's a 50-50 risk. Analyse the situation and make an informed decision. Best of luck!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wait until you get married to him

    ReplyDelete
  47. if u r going to invest in ur bfs business, u should get proper legally enforceable documentation done naming u as a shareholder or something, so ur money no go enter voicemail.. forget love... when he makes it, there's a probability that yu'l be thrown to d curb, and ur 'investment' will become 'dash'...unless of course ur ready to dash him d money... even with a husband sef... these days, u can never tell.. better safe than sorry...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sure, but go to a lawyer to draw you a partnership agreement, that protects u even if u guys break up.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It's not wise. Use your head madam. Get him to marry you first...idiot!

    ReplyDelete
  50. It's a fucking scam, DONT DO IT!

  51. If u really love him do so nah (eleyele1@yhoo.com)

  52. Wait until he get married to u

    ReplyDelete
  53. SCAM! That's what broke asses are doing now, they prey on female bankers for their money and leave when they dry 'em up! Don't fall for that my BF crap!

    ReplyDelete
  54. First and foremost there is nothing wrong in doing that, buh the thing is that you need to be sure that this guy is ready to spend the rest of his life with you, because I know you wouldn't want to help this guy go reach and then later he'll dump you for another girl

    ReplyDelete
  55. Be Warned Babe na serious lie lie scam! I've heard soo many stories of female bankers falling for this, he shld aask his relatives or church and leave you! Be warned it's a lie!!!

  60. Wow!! Nice 1,we'll 2 me is eida u help em as a nice person u are,or u get d dude sign a document,geting a refund or a percentage n d so call biz..am a dude but trust no 1babes cus I dnt tink u wana loose all round just saying@dino

    ReplyDelete
  61. wait ooooooooo untill u call wife sis

    ReplyDelete
  62. why dont u make him pop the question by cajoling him into getting married to you, and his incentive i would say, would be that money you want to invest in him and afterwards when he bends to your will you go ahead and draw up your prenuptial agreement which should at least favor you slightly better than him in case of what we all know happens to females who have the cash in unions like this.that way you know he is bound legally by law to actually thread carefully. be sure to sign the agreement 30 days before the wedding n might i add that a legal representative should be present to witness it. #okimdone.... back to snooping

    ReplyDelete
  63. If you really do love him and you are 100% sure you can always provide food on the table without stress for your family, even when he may end up a total liability to you,....then wait for some time after you guys are married b4 investing....invest a percentage first to test his hustle and agility to be sure he is not lazy...lets say like 30% first.....b4 i 4get.....the reason why i said you should wait for some time after your marriage is to see if he will do something to provide without you coming into the picture. ....watch his actions cos frm there you will know weather you will be the bread winner for the rest of your life or for some time b4 he takes over or it will be a collaborate thing.

    ReplyDelete
  64. My dear, it's obvious ur giving him because of marriage so on dat ground I advise u shouldn't give him yet to avoid getting disappointed bt if u were giving jst because u love him n would love to see him prosper whether he eventually marries u or not den go ahead

    ReplyDelete

  65. Better wait till you are married! This is coming from a guy. However, if hes proven his loyalty to you over the years then i would say ....why not?

    ReplyDelete
  66. My dear if u want to do so, do it without expecting anything in return. Tell urself am just doing this to help the poor and needy...outside that, pls keep ur money.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hello Lady. This is a nice question as well as a nice gesture but I'm afraid it's not a good idea because he is a friend, not a business partner and not a husband. There's no legal bond and your relationship is not recognized. If he reneges on his part to acknowledge your contribution and -God forbid- the relationship fails before your marriage then all is lost. Invest that allowance in a business that is your own and when you marry while it is still alive you can bequeat it to him. Then you both are one flesh. Goodluck luck. My answer is 'NO'.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Pls wait till u get married before doing that men can be so ............

    ReplyDelete
  69. Hmmm, it's right if you want to, but hope you won't regret it, if eventually u guys don't end up husband and wife. So if u sincerely want to help out, do it for the sake of God and not coz u'll want something in return.

  77. Invest in husband's business nt ur boyfriend…#iwotago

    ReplyDelete
  78. My advice is u should follow your heart and give him d money. And don't make fuss about it like bringing a lawyer or relation in the deal. Just give d money to him lovingly but through a bank transfer. That way u have some evidence in case things turn sour. invest and hope for d best

    ReplyDelete
  79. Its aint right baby..he isn't ur hubby now..be wise

  80. Its nt wise to invest in ur boyfrnd's business.....

    ReplyDelete
  82. Don't invest on him loan him and ensure the loan has legal backing..

    ReplyDelete
  83. If you truly want to help him, i'll suggest u do it for the sake of God and not coz u'll want something in return. Believing the fact dat, God forbid,if today u don't end up husband and wife, u won't regret the help you rendered.

    ReplyDelete
  84. If you trust im. ......nd u love each other. .....
    then you can go ahead

  85. My dear,you should not have double minds/skeptical when it comes to helpin' out someone you truely love

    ReplyDelete
  87. wait till you get married else you will regret it like me.please trust me do not invest your money in his business because you will be greatly affect if you don't end up together.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Isn't life all about risk-taking? You could decide to NOT invest in him and he somehow gets someone else to do so and in his resentment gives you the boot. You could also decide to invest in him and after he makes it tomorrow he still gives you the boot. Now, this. You can decide to invest in him regardless of his having not yet popped the question and just because of that simple act of perceived trust and loyalty alone, he is forced to not only ask you to marry him but actually goes ahead to walk you down the aisle. Thereafter, with your combined team of hubby and wife, his business becomes so successful that you both live happily ever after with him granting interviews to Forbes and LIB that it was his wife's initial seed money that was the acorn that has turned into an oak. Think about it and thank me later.

  89. Don't you DARE it.you will regret it if you do.

  90. Nothing bad in it,remember givers never lack

    ReplyDelete
  91. common for the love of God, must u be married to him before u help him?? Are u happy seeing him unemployed? then again if the tables were turned, do u think he'll not help u just cos u guys aren't married yet? my dear, u've been dating someone for 3 years i think that's enough yardstick to invest in him, with or without marriage.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Wait till I get married! Not even engagement. Married!. Let him keep hussling till den.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Wait o, he could be dating u just because u are employed unless u just want to do it as charity with no strings attached. Men are wicked o

    ReplyDelete
  94. If he is your husband it is a different thing. If u think u have a future with him why not. If u are a true friend u will help not minding where the relationship leads.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Invitation to trouble because you will condition his mind to marry you and if he doesn't then you end up in bitterness of heart and he if he decides to marry you know for sure that you MUST always come to his aids because your action towards his financial wellbeing before marriage must always continue in marriage hence you breed trouble. Whatever you cannot continue in marriage dont start it in courtship. I am married hence speaking from experience. If you want to help him pls do but i bet you it is a greek gift for now.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Follow ur mind and expect nothing from no one. If u want to help him do it for God's sake and expect ur reward from God.

    ReplyDelete
  97. If you love him without any ill feeling or paranoia...go ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  113. What money would he use to marry you? Since he is unemployed n penniless. Give him the money if it wouldn't dig a hole in your pocket or set u back from a goal. Just look at it from d angle that u r giving it to a dear friend or a charity give away.

    ReplyDelete
  114. What is your leave allowie compared to what you have invested already? 3 years and no talk of marriage? And you are thinking of leave allowie? Babe, you have got bigger issues than your leave allowance. Abeg let him put a RING on that finger!

  125. Don't do it o..... Anytin can happen at any tym.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Hmm, tough one.

    You just have to decide if u can actually forgo d leave allowance. So think of it as a gift, that way if u guys do break up you wont feel too bad.

    If u r waiting for marriage, what makes u think he wont ask for a divorce later. God forbid though.

    My point is, if you love him and believe in him. Then do yours for God. A seed sown will definitely give fruits. Maybe not today and maybe not even from him but it will bear fruits one day.

    Cheers

    ReplyDelete
  132. You will be a big fool if you do that now. Wait till after marriage

    ReplyDelete
  133. It depends on the way u feel about him as a friend. dont invest cos hes ur bf or cos of marriage.

    indeed only invest wat u can forfeit just incase the relationship goes sour. Also if investing, make sure u ar made a partner/stakeholder so you have a major say in what is done with your money depending on the percentage of your investment.

    ReplyDelete
  134. my dear, no be just leave allowance? I thought u wanted to say your life savings. Abeg, leave allowance na pocket change, esp where I work. Give the boy the cash. e no mean he will marry you o! But u cld just help a brother out. Unless u know say the guy na devil. And u are just deceiving yourself that he will do business with the money.

    ReplyDelete
  135. When you give to someone you shouldn't expect sth in return, that's selfless giving. Do not use money as a collateral for a marriage ticket. If you want to give because you see him as an act of kindness go ahead but if you're doind it because of marriage don't bother because you might end up getting dissappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  136. If you believe in it, help him, but make sure he signs a contract that he will pay your money back if the business venture succeeds or fail, and that you will own a certain percentage. I dont believe in lending anything without contract, words of the mouth change when it comes to money so i believe everything should be legally drawn out, especially when yall are not married. people are shady, especially a guy with aspirations.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Abeg
    Invest in it but if u guys relationship don't workout in the other way, pls don't inform me Maga!

    BORN TO SHINE!!!

  138. No! Not wise at all. Fine, I don't know his character and his worth, but it's wise to hold on and invest in your husband, who has proposed and married you. Than invest in a man who can leave you without any obligations. Some men are not trusthworthy.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Whether now or when u get married. Get a lawyer. Draw up terms n conditions. If u r to b a part owner of d company/business or just an investor. No go dey do love oh n he will jonse u

    ReplyDelete
  140. I personally will not do dat again cause men can be funny my boyfriend whom I invested in has turned his back on me. I sensed some shady behaviour I acted broke cleared my account he knows now he claims busy can't come to see me anymore no more dates, or call. I went to his place d weekend he is with another woman. D good news is I didn't go all out spending all my money on him. My advice be wise wen u want to invest in a man wen he is not ur husband sm men re not worth d stress.

  144. He doesn't have to pop the question for you to assist him. And if you eventually do assist him, then do it expecting nothing in return, not even marriage. But if you think marriage is a condition, then don't. I don't believe in helping people to get something in return. You never know if your own husband is somewhere in need too. Do it for God if you must and leave it! Expect nothing. If it comes, fine. If not your husband will still come, but you would have saved a soul.

  145. Dont bankroll everything. Think of it as helping out a friend with the possibility of not being paid back. That should guide u on the amount to invest.

  152. You know him best. So you should make that decision on your own. You should invest if you fully trust him and not invest if you're having doubts.

  154. Do not, unless it's an amount you can let go off. Just in case it doesn't go as planned. God Bless.

  158. my dear, use ur tongue to count ur teeth... these dudes ain't loyal oo.. reassurance of marriage does not guarantee u a permanent place with him.. You should know exactly why u'r helping him.. if u can't remove marriage from the options then no need.. be wise..

  161. Do not invest in him since he is not your husband yet. Men are callous and he may throw you over if something better comes along.

  165. if u get married or not either way the business could be a flop and the funds will still be lost, all am trying to say is that you dont use your relationship as a yard stick, business is about making money, look into his ideas, if they sound viable to you, get a lawyer to draw up a legal document stating the amount of shares you will have in the company so incase he makes it big and he doesnt marry you, you'll still have controlling shares over the company so it will be a win win situation all d way
    p.s: incase he doesnt marry and the business is a hit, i will advise you allow him continue making money for him and dont let ur emotions lead you to sending him away from d company. business is business. cheers. BM

  169. Invest in his business if you want to help him. It is dangerous to base your assistance on marriage. It will definitely lead to problems. If you want to assist and the proposal is good let him sign an agreement that he has collected money from you and that he will give you interest on money loaned.

  174. You would be a monkey and a donkey to do that cos he would dump you for a smaller chick when he is done milking you dry. Tell him to bring 5 ppl from his family and 5 from your family to pay bride price first. If you commit to this you would keep giving him your salary cos no biz would fetch you an instant profit. You are on your own if you try it...... Women really have fish brains abeg. *Rolling my eyes and strolls away with a long dry hissssssss*

  175. Lol boyfriend.
    That one no be husband!
    Keep your money till you both sign dotted line.
    If you do strong head and invest, make sure your name is on ALL legal docs with his. Make sure you have your own percentage so if things don't work out, it can be split. Even then, too much wahala so don't!

  176. Nne pls wait don't invest yet, some of them are not trust worthy, you said you work in a bank, put the money in a fixed deposit account , when he Marry''s you, then invest. But if you invest now, I bet you, he will grow and use the money to chase another woman, be wise and use your brain.

  184. I dont think there is anything bad in helping him if you sincerely love the guy. The mere fact that he is unemployed, and thereby could not even takes care of you as a girl friend is not something to be boast of. If at the end of the day it leads to marriage, fine.
