Hi eveyone, i'm new here so I hope I've found the right place to get advice! 3 years ago I set a mobile hair and beauty business with my sister in law. Last year she took a step back as she has two jobs and so couldn't commit to the weddings etc. This has always been a hobby of hers, not a business venture. So I found a new MUA and agreed she takes 20% of her wage for recommending the work. My business partner was to take charge of emails... not that there were many as most bookings came from facebook which I would deal with. Anyhoooo, I've taken the plunge and gone self employed and asked her to hand the emails to me as i have more time, and that I was going to advertise A LOT and if she would go halves as she always maintained it was 50/50. She refused both. We had a massive bust up and she got personal. I want to carry on using the name I worked so hard to get a good reputation for, but she refuses to let me. This is my main job now i need to get work! She is now saying she will get a solicitor to write a proposal to buy her out... she hasn't put anything into it in the last year and is getting 20% a time from the MUA! So now I'm left with no choice but to change the name because she thinks i should pay her more than what I offered (a refund on the quarter that is left on the website) I cannot afford much. I'm the one who built up a reputation and do most of the work! So any advice or ideas on a new name (one word) would be so much appreciated. Thank you xx
