    In any business I form, whoever puts up the money, buys control of it. There's no such thing as a partner putting in no money but getting shares in exchange for "future work". That's just not going...

    Never equal partners. SOMEONE has to be in charge and make the big decisions. My rule: Whoever is risking the most money owns the most shares.

    Yes, you can do it all yourself without software, but it's a royal pain the butt. Lots of forms, deposits that need to be made to the IRS and state, lots to keep up with.

    First things first, anyone can sue you for anything.
    I agree with this. What I don't agree with is being afraid of being sued. It'll happen or it won't. Being afraid doesn't change that.
