How do I get rid of my partner if I want to continue the partnership as a sole proprietorship?

Questioner

My partner and I have been working together for 7 years. Now our visions are not the same anymore. I want to continue the company as a sole proprietorship. What if my partner does not want to leave the partnership? We have 12 clients in the same room every day. The clients should not be the victims of the unrest in the firm.

Lawyer

I am responding here as a mediator and can mediate in this matter. You have entered into a VOF together and if all goes well, you are both also in the UBO register. To dissolve the VOF, you need each other's permission and under what conditions this will happen, for example what happens to the customers/exchange of customers, costs and benefits, etc. Together you will have to come to a solution that is workable for both of you. If there is a mutual need for mediation, I am open to this. You can reach me at 06-15250102 or refer to www.pro-dialoog.com.
