Can I be a partner in a company that borrows interest based loans ?

Fatawa Question

I want to buy a business with a Muslim friend, and I want to avoid using an interest bearing loan from the bank. My friend has studied the issue of interest and holds the opinion it is permissible in this country. If the bank agrees to loan the money to my friend whilst I make a contribution towards the purchase in terms of cash and property security, my friend can then make me a shareholder in the company following completion. He will be the sole applicant in the transaction. Some of the income from the company will be used to make loan repayments would this be permissible for me, or is there any variation to this arrangement that could work ?
