Hi smni, and welcome to the BE South African forum.

This sounds like a matter for an attorney, and I think needs a legal agreement to be drawn up beforehand if you are considering a partnership.

There are some BEE requirements you would need to consider (based on the size of the company / turnover etc) but being foreign you can open a business without an ID. But - to open a bank account, get credit and property, an ID will make the process much easier.
