Ending a business partnership requires a lot of thought and planning because you can’t simply “fire” your partner. Ideally, you defined plans for partner dissolution or break up in your original agreement. This might include a right of first refusal as you try to sell your shares in the company. If your partner isn't pulling their weight, you can point to the minimum work requirement you both agreed upon. If you and your partner can’t settle on an exit strategy, you may need to hire a mediator to distribute assets.
