Yes, while it seems obvious to DIY, because, who else will do it for you it is amazing to have a support group established since the beginning. No, these are not you employees, or else.

These immediate people are the ones you need the most. At the end, however you are going in business is going to affect them directly or indirectly. Make sure they're there every step of the way.
