Be VERY VERY careful with potential business partners. Similar in nature to a dating relationship, if the relationship with this business partner goes sour, it could very well tear the company apart. Learn how to protect yourself and the business interests. If anything, get said individuals to help out as contractors first. If they share the same enthusiasm as you and aren't looking at this project as a "get rich when it gains traction" scheme, consider them then, but not right away.
IT guys are often more than happy to work on contract for money. Don't give them half the company shares! (Seen/heard this before. Guy thinks the idea is hot stuff, technically owns the program and idea takes their work and starts and new company)
If you need help on workload, get a secretary to deal with nitty gritty and pay her a salary.
Again, be VERY careful with business partners, this cannot be stressed enough. They could do nothing and still cash out huge on your business even though you did all the work.
