  If you were in a truly life-or-death situation and they were in a position to help you but only through sacrificing a large part of their business interests, would they? That I think would be the ultimate and clearest differentiator. Of course such a situation is very rare so usually we can only rely on more ambiguous signals. More prosaically, would they sacrifice a small part of their business interests in exchange for some great benefit to you if you give them a promise to do the same in the future? And vice-versa? If so, then it would seem most likely they would be more than just business partners.
