Need some unbiased opinions
Here is the scenario. I am a close relative of one of the partners in this scenario and just need an unbiased opinion on what direction to go with it.
Two partners go into business together. Each brings an equal share of capital to the table to buy inventory. One partner works at the business full time selling the product and fixing the product. He is paid a monthly salary of 2,500. The other partner has a full time day job and takes phone calls to sell product, shows product when he can and helps fix product two to three days a month. The first partner has the skills to fix the more in depth problems with the product and the second partner just reconditions the product and makes it cosmetically ready to sell. The second partner recieves 800 a month for his contribution. In addition to the 2,500, the first partner, after fixing in depth problems with product belonging to company, posts ads for fixing product similiar to the product being sold by the company. He initially agreed to put $ from service on "extracuricular" product into the company. After a couple of months, he sees that partner two is contributing nothing to fix extracuricular product but still getting half the proceeds. After discussion, partner one refuses to place any more money from service into business. Partner two is adamant that since partner one is taking a 2,500 salary, anything extracuricular is business money too.
Any thoughts??
