I own a domain name which was purchased in my name for a web design firm. I recently took on a business partner but have not drawn up any type of formal partnership agreement, opened a business checking account, or filed any type of papers regarding use of an alias, and we have used my partner's personal checking account for all financial transactions. My partner purchased a business license using the business name, which is the same as the domain name, as a sole proprietorship in the partner's name without my knowledge, and I would like to disassociate myself from this partner. Since I own the domain name, was the business license legally obtained and is it binding? Who owns the business name, and who is responsible for taxes owed by the business?
