Lots of people like to talk about the downside risk of losing friends when things go south. What most people don't realize is that when the business does well, you risk your friends becoming just business partners. You lose that impartial party in your life you can talk to about anything and realize you and your friends now only talk about business.

Don’t forget about the dynamics of when things go wildly successful. Greed can easily take over in friendships and all the sudden someone might talk themselves into believing their friends don’t “deserve” to participate in that success at the same level as themselves.
