What is the name of your state? California
I and a friend started an architecture office about 5 years ago as an LLC. We've never made much money and lately I have had to get a full time job outside the office to support myself. I am enjoying my new job and want to move on with my life. My partner however has more cash reserves and wishes to continue with the business, which is making enough money for one person at least. How do I extricate myself from the LLC? Should I ask to be bought out? I've invested many years at low pay and built up the company, including many intangible assets: a portfolio of fine work, construction detail libraries, templates for various contracts and correspondences, etc. If I do ask to be bought out how do we place a value on the company? What if my partner doesn't want to buy me out? Any advice?What is the name of your state?
