Business partnership inquiry form
A partnership inquiry form routes unsolicited proposals to the right decision-maker instead of filling an inbox. Company name, partnership type and a summary of the proposal tell the business development team whether this is something to schedule a meeting about. This form is a first-touch inquiry only. Partnership evaluation, terms and approval all happen separately, after someone reviews the intake.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Partnership type is a select, not guessed from a summary
A dropdown of partnership types means your business development team sees immediately whether this is a reseller proposal, a technology integration, or something else — without reading through a summary to infer it.
Proposal summary replaces a cold-call conversation
A required text field means every partnership inquiry arrives with a written summary of what is being proposed, so your team can evaluate it and decide whether to schedule a call instead of taking a call to hear the pitch.
No card required.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a business partnership inquiry form, not general advice about forms.
Partnership type as free text
Without a select field, a proposal that says "partnership opportunity" is no clearer than one that says "let's work together". A dropdown for reseller, integration, co-marketing etc makes the proposal type clear at a glance.
No proposal summary
A business development team reading "interested in partnership" with no detail has to respond asking what you want, which delays the evaluation. A required text field ensures every inquiry carries enough context to decide.
No company website or verification link
Without a way to research the proposing company, your team cannot vet whether they are real or whether the partnership fits. A URL field for the website is what lets them do homework before the call.
Questions about this form
Does submitting this form mean we have a partnership?
No. This form is a first inquiry that puts your proposal in front of the right team. They will review it and decide whether to discuss further. If interested, they will reach out to schedule a conversation.
How long does it take to hear back?
That depends on the company and the type of partnership. Some responses come in days; some take weeks if business development is busy. Follow up after a week or two if you have not heard back.
What information should I include in the proposal summary?
What you are proposing, what value you offer, and why you think this company is a good fit. A paragraph or two is enough; detailed business plans can come later if interest is mutual.
