Just pointing out that in the third example you gave can have so many iterations and interpretations if you reversed the order, from what I've read.
0 "Supposing I am your business partner, wouldn't you want me to tell you the truth?"
- "Wouldn't you want me to tell you the truth, supposing I am your business partner?" if this were some sorta mystery game.
- "Wouldn't you want me to tell you the truth supposing I am your business partner?" I can't see this making sense as it is. It might look well but reading it out loud it just feels off.
- *obligatory third option*
Regarding the comma it's all about how you want it used, really, whether you want more or less of it or none at all.
