Question

Name the person who keeps his identity secret from outsiders.

Answer 1

A partner can contribute expertise, business contacts and money to a new or growing business. Partnerships take many forms.

Secret Partner

A secret partner, unlike a silent partner, has a say in the business' operations, but the public is not aware that the secret partner is involved in the business. Her name is not associated with the business in any way. A secret partner may have a tarnished reputation from a previous business failure and doesn't want that reputation to taint the new business, or she simply may prefer to operate anonymously.
