There are three partners in the business, it’s a digital media business. I work in the business full time, one partner is part time and the other works a full time job but helps out every now and then. I am wanting to put a shareholders agreement together but the others are assisting on equal share each. I am finding this difficult as I’m doing 80% of the work and generating the little revenue we have and it has become a bit of a disincentive to work harder as the rewards are not commensurate with the effort and contribution. How do I handle the predicament respectfully so everyone feels it has been handled appropriately and we can maximise the opportunity? Thank you

Along with 2 other partners we are about to set up a food distribution business, each of us will be directors and have equal shareholding. The question we have is two directors who want to have their shares in their family company name and the director want their shares to be just in a business name, not a pty ltd.

Does anyone see this as a problem and does it represent any risks to any of us as directors?

Hi, we need some advice.

One of our staff is never happy and continuously brings down the mood within the business and with a small team of 10, it’s very frustrating. The business is going well but it could be so much better and we are really worried about losing other staff because of the negativity. What is our best course of action, we don’t want to wait until it is too late?

I would like to get the opinions of other business owners to how long before a new staff member needs to be working for the business before they become part of the employee share options. We introduced it last year for staff who have been with the business almost from the start 4 years ago but not sure whether new employees should have to wait 1, 2 or 3 years. What do people think?

Hi, I would like to ask a question about buying a franchise/licence. The parent company is not calling it a franchise (just a licence) but the agreement looks and feels like a franchise and we have to commit to KPI’s and a 3 year term. If it is just a licence agreement does that mean the parent company is required to pay tax on our behalf or is that our responsibility – thank you?
