I’m about to have a shareholders meeting with a person who hates my guts. To give a bit of context: 3 years ago we were best friends and decided to start a business as 50/50 partners. I invested money to buy all the equipment, renovate the space, and she was doing the operational day to day work. Then problems started very soon. Since she was doing the operational work it was very easy for her to hide the real finances from me, and the business was actually profitable, we had real clients, employees. She was saying shit like “you just have to wait until it’s profitable” while pocketing everything herself. A bit over a year ago we had a huge fight, then didn’t speak for a long time, and then finally last August I hired a lawyer. My lawyer sent her a demand letter to provide the financials and an offer to buy me out for the amount invested (I realize now it was quite aggressively written from the beginning and had low chance to succeed but back then just trusted a lawyer).…
