Question:
How do I handle splitting from my business partner without a shareholder’s agreement in Delaware County?
Answer:
Splitting from your business is much more difficult when you don’t have an agreement in place for this contingency. In such a case, you’ll need to enter a negotiation with your partner to determine the value of the business.
The best-case scenario is if you both agree on the value of the business. Then you can bypass the need to arrive at a number through negotiation or a third-party assessment. You’ll be able to simply move forward to selling assets, accepting as an asset your share, giving a credit toward to purchase price or the dissolution fund. You can proceed to dividing up assets in whichever way suits your needs, depending on who wants to leave, who wants to stay, or if you’re both getting out.
Basically, the goal is to arrive at the value of the assets and pay off the liabilities because you do not want anybody coming back that is owed money. When you voluntarily reach an agreement as to how you’re going to value the pot, all you have left to do is divide it up and move forward.
