Dear All
My brother (Abhishek) wants to invest into a business that he and his friend (Vivek) want to start wherin both will be investing 50% each. Naturally the profit sharing is also 50:50 each. However, the company under which this business will work is in the name of Vivek (my brother's friend) and his father so that they do not have to register a new company. The amount to be invested by Abhishek and Vivek is to the tune of around 5 lacs EACH.
Now my query is what are the risks involved in such a model? What should be the legal procedure/documents be used in this case since my brother is investing into a business which is going to function under a company that is held by somebody else (Vivek and his father in this case)? In case of a fallout in future between the two parties (Abhishek and Vivek), how can my brother substantiate and claim for the investment that he makes now?
Any advice in this case is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
