How to sign a letter from two business owners

jk2014

Hey,

My self and a friend have recently decided to start a business together, I'm currently in the process of sending out emails to companies asking for thier feedback about our business.

Does anybody know how I would sign the emails & letters from both of us? Would we both be CEO or Co Founders? This doesn't look right to me

Kind Regards,

John Doe CEO of ABC
Jane Doe CEO of ABC

I would have thought you could have only one Chief Executive Officer.

How about

John Doe and Jane Evans
Managing Partners

I suggest "Partners" if you are not operating as a limited company. If you are using a limited company then "Joint Managing Directors" is an option.

Thank you for your response what about joint co founders? The company will be a limited company

What has 'joint co-founder' got to do with anything?

Its a 'non title' that has no bearing to your relationship to the company at all.

As you are setting up a company, the you are both directors. Therefore you sign it as directors.

What are you trying to communicate about yourselves?

Director does not convey the ownership status.

What roles are you planning to take

Sorry my previous post an error was made, it will not be a limited company.

We are basically sending out emails to various companies who will feel would benefit from our service explaining who we are what we do so that is why I wantes to introduce ourselves and then sign off from both of us but I wanted to know the correct business title to give ourselves.

We will be the only two employees that the company has and it will be us that deals with all enquirys and delivers the "service" promised

Put both of your names and underneath just state "Joint Proprietors".

Suggest you dont confuse things - your internal business arrangements arent a concern of your potential customers. If you do want to bring the matter up suggest you describe the situation in your text eg the XYZ company was set up and is managed by Joe and Jane Doe who have many years experience in the whatever area.

Just have one person sign it as the company director or whatever business title you like to invent for yourselves. Ideally this should be the person who will be the main face of the company to that potential customer.

If you do have it from both of you how does the customer reply? As I say it just makes things messy.

If you are not going to be operating via a Limited Company then you will be partners so "Managing Partners" sounds right. Have you got a name for your new business as you should include that as well.

However, your last post is confusing as you mention being employees for a Company yet you state that you aren't forming a Limited Company. I'd suggest you sort out what the legal form of your new business is before starting marketing as there are rules that govern what you must do if you are a Company.

Have you developed the "sales" material to promote your services.

This would have the "about us" for those interested in the service to research more, either written or web

The most important thing abut writing to entice business is to appear professional and capable.

From your posts, you are confused about the legal entity of your business (and your status as partners / employees or whatever) plus your spelling is not great.

The best advice I have is to get someone with a good basic grasp of grammar and punctuation to proof read anything before you use it... and get some business advice from a professional.
