Re: Buisness agreement

My understanding from the question is that you are placing sweat equity into the business while your partner is placing money equity into the business. Therefore, you should not be responsible for your partner's money while your partner should not be responsible for your sweat equity.

Furthermore, your partner should be repaid for the money loaned to the company (with interest) and you should receive a salary for your work.
