Opening a Business on Shabbos
Question
Hi. How can a religious jew have an online business which has customer service available on Shabbos?
From what I've read online, one can start the company together with a non-jewish partner who will take an eighth of the profits, but it seems that one must be careful that it should be a 'real partnership' - not sure what that means. Does this include decision-making?
What if I outsource the basic level of customer service? Would that work?
Thanks for any pointers on this.
