Closely Held Business Law

Close Corporation businesses are close business enterprises owned or "closely held" by relatively few people. They may be closely held corporations; enterprises with shares that are closely held by only a few stockholders, such as family members, rather than traded openly in the securities market. They may also be sole proprietorships; businesses operated by a single owner with no separate legal entity for holding or operating the company, including the owner's liability for the business's debts.

Locked Out By Business Partner?

I am 50% owner of a s corp. My business partner has locked me out, opened new bank accounts, sent notice to all customers that I am no longer part of the company, canceled my health insurance.

I have very little savings to get wrapped up in a long legal battle. Yet I can not let this go. Justice needs to be served. This battle started with my confronting him about spending large amounts of company funds to pay his personal bills and personal taxes.

What can I do? Will a attorney take this on a contingency?

Selling a Business Without Continuing Liability?

I own a business and am really wanting to sell. It's too much time away from my family, so the sooner the better. Interested party wanting to buy, but want to pay 20,000 down and 10,000 in 6 months and 8,000 in 3 months after. They can't put business in their name until January, and I still owe on my loan for more than the downpayment. Can this work? I don't want any responsibility after papers are signed and everything out of my name.
