This might be an option too. My friend's Father retired and left his business to his 2 sons. While one brother was doing 90% work, the lazy one was taking 80% profit. My friend was trying to fix this for few years. Father didn't want to be the judge and any attempt to talk with "lazy" brother and fix it was a fail. The hardworking brother divided everything on half (tools, cars, everything). He rented a new office and started new company. He contacted all customers and informed them that he is starting new business alone without his brother. Most of the customers never heard about the "lazy brother" and they followed him. He handed his brother and father the keys, and his resignation. Of course the Original company went out of the business within few months. He become the black sheep of the family, but he is successful business owner now.

With Dave is referring to is a operating agreement of the actual business and if that operating agreement doesn't detail anything specific then it's up for grabs as to what happens. So since the brother basically has the keys and the checkbook and full control of the operations he could pull a coup like they've said. Essentially they'd have to take him to court and fight it out but at that point it would be more wise for them It would force the option that Dave is actually pushing.

Never apologize for doing the right thing. Bottom line the entire family disrespects you if they come take your brother’s side in this matter. Remember my first admonition, Lawyer up after doing some research to find a qualified attorney who comes recommended, preferably. Now, spend some time with your father . Lovingly let your father know your concerns without laying down demands immediately. Maybe ask Dad’s advice just to get an upfront and personal discussion started, one on one.

So wait how is it 49/49/2 without a written agreement? Whose name on the bank account? the annual report filings? If no one else is listed, that person can take it all.

Those hvac companies are all the same. it's all in dads name . He probably just goes to the office and pushes paper around, and says I run this company 😂😂 he has got to be 60+ dads 90

@@JacobsNews I'm surprised Dave didn't harp on this. If Dad started the HVAC company and "passed it" 49-49 to his 2 sons with no written agreement, isn't the business still really's Dad's? He might have final say on how this shakes out. The real estate side sounded like a totally separate interest between brothers. Caller might be hosed on the HVAC side.

This is a sad reminder that when going into a family business contracts need to be drawn up and made legal for the protection of all parties. Thinking everyone is going to be honest and do the right thing is not the way to start a business.

@rosemarcinko318 Ай бұрын

This is familiar to my son and my brothers business, my son owns it and my brother was doing jobs for cash behind his back and not reporting it. That’s more than likely what is going on here. His brother is using his own personal company truck doing side jobs for cash plus getting a paycheck from the company. Awful.

My family was in the same type of business. HVAC and appliances business called Kirkland Appliance in Opp, Alabama in the 1970s and 1 1980s. Unfortunately the business closed because business like Montgomery Ward could get Appliances cheaper than we could and the HVAC and appliances repair side of our business was what kept us alive. My parents ended up getting divorced because my dad admitted to an extra marital affair that happened years before when he worked in maintenance at the local hospital. My mom had never cheated on him and she gave him his walking papers. They got a divorce and filed bankruptcy. 😢

Tricky one with family involved, I think your play is right though. Renogitation of the terms needs to happen, a buy out seems like the correct way to go.

Working with family is the worst. Love my family, but it is so hard for folks to separate work life from family life sometimes. Seen good businesses go belly up due to one spoiled brother or sister in a family business ruining it for everyone.

"It speaks to his lack of character". True Dave. But this situation also speak to this guy's lack of backbone. 4 YEARS of free salary? Now he's finally breaking down. Me and my brother are extremely close, like besties and this would never fly. Maybe 1 year just because of the pandemic but this has gone on way too long.
