If all the paperwork is under your fathers name, then doesn't the company belong to him? Can't he just fire your brother & hire a friend or something?
That can't be done because they are partners in the business, or were, they are now just both employees as we went INC. a little over a year ago. My father was not all there when this happened as he made my brother president, my father is vice president.
I suppose it could be done... but there would be a LOT of paperwork & the such and because my brother is part owner he would know about it & bail on us before it was complete. Which would be good if my dad or me wanted to keep the business.

We can probably force my brother out and we know that if we did it the right way he would leave again.

But.... (see my reply to the next quote):
The answer is as plaiin as the nose on your face have dad let you run it and "sell "it to you $1.00 sounds good then you hire what you need and pay dad to work for you. Job security for both of you.
I don't want the business. Its an Auto Glass business. It is HARD to find an experienced hand. We offer lifetime warranties & the such so in order to stay a-head we need real trustworthy people that do an excellent job and honestly care about what the work they do. It is mighty hard to find good help now-a-days.
My father can't handle all the physical labor himself. (thats the ONLY thing I don't do here is the work... well I do help out & do some of the work but i can't install a windshield by myself). I run everything else that is associated with the business.

I don't want to be the owner of this buisness.

My dad & I both feel that we can't run this properly hiring someone else. The work is tough, VERY hard on the backs & the such. In order to find someone trustworthy to hire, we'd have to pay them a pretty penny. A real pretty penny.
GOOD workers in this business can easily start off making no less than $12/hour and it is not uncommon for them to start off at $15-$18/hour plus full benefits because the job is so straining on your body and most also require their own van. There is just too much involved if we were to hire a reputable full timer.
