Aligned
The Sun and Mercury
1 and 5 befriend each other. The Sun leads and Budha, Mercury, sells, moves and connects; practitioners read the pair as fast, wide and rarely stuck, because neither number waits. The one caution is that two fast founders can run past the ledger.

As co-founders

Practitioners give the 1 leadership, public face, final authority and the 5 marketing, communication, customer presentation (finance with an 8); the pair works while each keeps to that side of the room.

As name and founder
A business name totalling to 1 for a founder whose driver and conductor are 5 reads Strong; the reverse, a 5 name for a 1 founder, reads Strong. Both directions support each other, so either digit can carry the letterhead for the other.
A 1 name for a 5 founder reads Strong; A 5 name for a 1 founder reads Strong.
As phone digits
In a phone number the digits 15 and 51 both read favourable, sequences practitioners like to see in a business line. Phone Line reads all nine pairs together, since one pair never decides a line.
15 reads favourable; 51 reads favourable.
What to do about it
Put the 1 on decisions and the 5 on market and communication. A name on 23 or 41 serves both. If the cash cycle grows lumpy, add an 8 or a 4 for structure rather than slowing either founder down, since Saturn and Rahu hold what the Sun and Mercury move.
Sectors that favour both: Technology and IT, Finance, lending and insurance, Travel and hospitality, Luxury, jewellery and fashion, Telecom and communications.
