sleeping partner

Partner in a business who takes no active role in running the business, but still receives benefits from the business. A sleeping partner is usually an investor who, in return for their investment, receives a share of the profits. Once the business is firmly established, it may be possible to buy the sleeping partner out. By taking a risk in the first instance, a sleeping partner may become very rich.
