There are certain warning signs that a business owner should look for when considering whether it may be time to split from their business partner and dissolve their partnership. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to seek the help of legal counsel before things get too far out of control and you end up having to run to the courthouse:
Your Business Is Struggling
If your business is struggling, it may be a sign that you and your business partner are not on the same page anymore. If one of you is working hard to keep the business afloat while the other is not contributing anything, the partnership likely isn’t beneficial to your business. If you are losing money or customers, it may be time to rethink your relationship with your business partner and seek help from a professional to reach an amicable business divorce before there’s any further damage to your business.
You Each Have Different Goals for the Future of the Business
Differences in vision can be a major cause of disagreement between business owners. If one partner wants to keep the business small and personal while the other wants to expand and grow into a large corporation, this could lead to plenty of disagreements in your future business strategy. If you feel that you and your partner no longer share the same goals and visions of the future of the business, separating the partnership may be better sooner than later.
You Are Not Communicating Effectively
If you and your business partner are not communicating effectively, it can be difficult to resolve disagreements or problems. Similarly, if you are not speaking to each other at all about important business decisions and operations, this could be a sign that it is time to dissolve your partnership. If you and your partner are not working together as a team anymore, it may result in issues for your business. It is critically important that you resolve any issues that you have with each other through effective communication in order to move on with your business venture.
If you are noticing any of the signs listed above, it may be a good idea to consider a business divorce before any further issues come to your business. A business divorce can be a difficult process, but it is one that can be successfully navigated with the help of an experienced attorney. For more information, contact Canales PLLC today.
