I'll keep this short, one partner in the business is becoming a problem, takes too much financially out of the business and despite several warnings by bank manager and accountant continues to do so and I need it to stop ! There are 4 partners myself, my parents (both in their 70s) and older brother who is the problem. All land, buildings and houses belong to dad and we are partners in the business only, we are asset rich (£10mil +) but cash poor and have a very seasonal cash flow due to seeming to have to wait longer and longer for money from customers(small contracting operation) on top of normal income, grain sales , livestock etc. My question is how would I go about removing one partner from the business, I can't afford to take any legal advice from a solicitor at the moment and I am truly fed up ! I have always just kept my head down and worked and I am married with 2 small kids and older brother has dealt with (or not as the case seems to be) SFP stewardship etc. Brother has children at private school, a wife with expensive tastes and a expensive lifestyle. I know this sounds like the normal family farming situation but the one thing I do not want to do is upset my parents as I only have the upmost respect and their welfare in mind ! Can anyone help on here,by pm or steer me in the way.of someone who can advise me ! We are NFU members if that helps
