Is it Bad to trust your colleagues when doing businesses together?

Generally, there is nothing bad in trusting you frieny or colleague in business but I feel it might be risky because some friends or colleague might take advantage of your trust and this might ruin the business plans.
 
But at the very least, you should be able to trust your coworkers. You certainly wouldn't want to find out that someone else in the office has been taking credit for your hard work or passing along things you say in confidence to the wrong people. So it is wise to take note of when a colleague may be less than honest.
 
Personally, I had bad experience Trusting my so called "Colleagues" too much when doing businesses together. It really leaves me devastated and sometimes wonder about what I have done wrong to deserve treatment like cheat, supplying sub standard goods below order specification, and stealing my business ideas.

The question is it good to trust colleagues that you do business together?
To me the answer is yes, all relationship should be based on trust and not only what you want to gain from such individual,but ability to be sure that things will not go wrong.
 
Well, you have to trust your colleagues or working partners for peace to reign. But the trust shouldn't be 100% accurate cause nobody is to be trusted. But it's advisable to trust your business colleagues, but if you find it so difficult, then do the business on your own, become the owner of the business
 
Trusting people is a very hard decision. But if you are doing businness together trusting is one of the best key to success to what are you doing. But if you are having trust issues to your colleagues its better to talk them personally.
 
To me is not bad to trust a college when doing business together . but first of all before people become business partners they should be able to know their differences before they can work together . therefore the already agree to their own terms and rules before working together there is already trust among them and not bad.

Business is business, relationship is relationship. One is supposed to be strict in business no matter who is directly or indirectly involved in the business and of course before you go into business with someone you trusted the person and also spell what you want out.
 
There is an excellent chance you spend more time with your coworkers than with anyone else. That includes your spouse, kids, parents or friends. If you have a good relationship with them, that may not be a bad thing, but if you don’t, your time at work can be miserable. If you don’t know how to get along with your coworkers, it’s time you found out.
Good workplace relationships can help you do your job better. They can make going to work every day enjoyable or, at least, tolerable. Bad ones can distract you from your duties and can turn a so-so job into a nightmare. Follow these tips to learn how to get along better with your coworkers.
1. Respect Your Colleagues
For any relationship to succeed, the individuals who are part of it must have—and show—respect for each other. One way to demonstrate respect is by avoiding doing things others might find offensive. For example, don’t leave a mess behind, don’t come to work sick and don’t steal credit for someone else’s work.
2. Steer Clear of Cringe-Worthy Topics
You might feel so comfortable with your colleagues that you think it’s ok to talk about anything at work. What you must keep in mind is that your coworkers are a captive audience. They can’t leave if they don’t like the topic of conversation, and they may feel awkward asking you to change it. Some controversial subject matters, politics and religion for example, could even cause arguments that might lead to discord in the workplace. Wait until you’re with your friends and family to discuss them.
3. Get Your Workplace Relationships Off to a Good Start
There are a lot of things to stress over when you start a new job, but you may be most worried about forming relationships with your new coworkers. If you didn’t get along with your colleagues at your last job, you might fret that things will be the same at this one. If you had great relationships, you could be concerned things will never be the same.
It may not happen overnight, but you will eventually bond with everyone (or at least almost everyone) at your new job. You can get off to a good start by being friendly to your new coworkers. A warm smile goes a long way. Asking questions and accepting lunch invitations do too.
4. Find A Way to Get Along With Even the Most Difficult People
You know the old saying “You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family”? You could say the same about your colleagues. You are unlikely to have any control over who your coworkers are and what they are like. A few—hopefully not too many—may have some annoying qualities. Whether you work with a chatterbox, a gossip, a delegator, a complainer or a credit grabber, your life will be much easier if you find a way to get along with him.
5. Don’t Spread Malicious Gossip
Based on rumor or fact, gossip can get you into trouble. Resist the urge to share juicy bits of news about anyone with whom you work. When you do, it sends a message to your cthy, and they will wonder if they will be your next subject.
While you should refrain from gossiping, you should know how to make the grapevine work for you. Listen to all the news that comes your way, filter out what is blatantly false and ignore anything that isn’t helpful.
6. Practice Good Office Etiquette
Good manners are as important on the job as they are anywhere else. This is an important point to remember whenever you are around your coworkers. Make sure to make phone calls in a way that doesn’t distract anyone who is trying to work. Keep your voice down and, if possible, have private conversations away from others.
Take care when writing or replying to email. Always say “please” when making a request and don’t drive your coworkers crazy by hitting “reply all” in a group email when only the sender needs to see your response.
Be mindful of proper table manners when eating lunch with your coworkers. For example, avoid tending to matters of personal hygiene at the table, put your cell phone away and be polite to waitstaff.
7. Be Kind to Your Coworkers
Everyone has bad days. Show your coworker some kindness when he seems to be struggling. You don’t have to do something extravagant. How about offering to stay late to help him work on a big project with a looming deadline or bringing her coffee and a cookie on a dreary Monday morning? It won’t make your colleague’s probln’t make your colleague’s problems disappear, but it could help him feel better.
 
when it comes to business, trust no one, no matter how close you are to the person, tho there need to be a level of trust when doing business but at the same time, be watchful, never let your guard down
 
It is not a bad thing to trust colleagues. As you go through life you will need people, as they are the intangible resource you need on your ladder to success. In building a business you will need to work with people. It is good to trust people even when they disappoint , just give them a second chance. Trusting people is good.

One of the most important hiring criteria for many companies is the ability to work as a team player—yet, so many of us have colleagues who don’t play well with others.Working with other team members whom you have a great work relationship with can actually make work fun, he says. “Morale is high, which leads to better productivity, which leads to better results.
 
It is not bad atall to trust people or your colleagues at work or in a business. Neither is it good to relax and trust too deeply when it comes to decision making or business running because things you cannot predict or see coming will happen behind your back and not only affect you but also affect the business and company. When it comes to business, politics, and family affairs, no one is to be trusted. To avoid unnecessary disappointment and heart break, it's better to avoid it totally
 
Nothing wrong with having trust your business partner, it is true the bond of trust and love that guy make the business grow successfully, believe me without trust the business can never grow and without trust there will be always arguments and disagreements.
 
I think it depends you who your friend is, if your friend has a record of making things disappear then it is wrong to trust him or her, but if not then you can trust your friend, this will in turn help your business grow.

@Profuk57 what about friends that are very good at pretending. They will so fake their loyalty in your presence not knowing the scheme they are planing. Most of us trust such individuals in business dealings because we don't know their true intentions.

Trusting colleagues should be an important part of doing business together, however, with the way things are, I would rather distrust everyone and go the legal way than to suffer any form of betrayal or losses.

Like I said earlier if your friend has a bad reputation even if he claims all allegation put on humor her is false I will not trust such person. Even the person pretends around you him or her will not pretend around every body.
 
Never trust anyone in life; the normal reasoning of a human being. But when it comes to business, trust is highly needed so that the end goal can be attained and both parties in the business won't end up loosing their investment.
 
Trust is a strong word... Is better to have colleagues that are goal oriented as you... That's the only way to avoid story that touches the heart.... Study the person, know whether he/she have the same goals as yours.
