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.

The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

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.

SO GOOD! I’m dying to know what happened!

I envy this guy, at least he has the means to do something. My business partner just changed the locks and cut me off from everything after I repeatedly asked for the yearly 3rd party audits of the financials he's contractually obligated to provide. I was asking for these because I'm 99% certain he is embezzling six figures from me. Now I don't have the means to press charges and get what I'm owed. Get what you deserve man, a lot of us are getting screwed out here.

That is 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. 😢

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.

That sounds like my brother when we bought our first truck. Finally went to the bank and closed the checking account and started another

Never knew Dave Ramsey had a show like this. When did it start?

@beckyward6650 Месяц назад

Sounds like the brother that does all the work needs to grow a set and take care of business.

I really want to know how this turns out.

@businessacc179 Месяц назад

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.

@JacobsNews Месяц назад

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

@testodude Месяц назад

@@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.

@HomewiseProperties Месяц назад

These guys gotta be in their 60’s… the dad is 90. The brother is basically retiring… just retire him already

I guarentee this has been a family dynamic for decades. Something has happened that has triggered this decision, especially after 4 years.

@frozentundra7446 Месяц назад

...And get it in writing signed and notarized!!!

@carolhutchins8995 Месяц назад

Change the locks and remove all bank information from the office before you confront them. If possible change banks so they don't know where the money is. Have the truck repossessed as a company vehicle(company asset)and get it towed back to the shop.

@rosemarcinko318 Месяц назад

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.

NEVER, EVER do business with family, PERIOD. Been there and done that. SUCKED.

@sn4rl277 Месяц назад

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.
