Everything was black and white before we did the deal, she should have never partnered in this deal if she wasn’t happy with the terms. As of now all I got was a letter trying to scare me from her lawyer to provide real numbers. She claims to have saved receipts she collected from workers and payroll numbers, I asked them to send me those numbers so I can provide the missing numbers but they refused.
In these kind of deals Im transparent and show my overhead and profit on a separate line (10/20).
You wont make them happy no matter what at this point. Make them fight for it. If one partner kept his commission then you should be profiting from your license as well. I would have been clear but if your agent made 30-60k/ minority partner profit then why arent they going after that as well? I think there is a big communication breakdown here. I think you should exhaust your options amicably but be prepared for litigation. Court should always be a last resort, especially in your position. You are the money and controlling partner so you will be against the wall providing documentation etc.. what a pain in the a**.
Maybe Show your numbers to them and offer them a couple thousand bucks to go away. First consult with a lawyer.
