You and your business partner started your company 15 years ago. Together you saw your business grow from just a spark of an idea to a fully functioning and profitable company. When you started the business, you had zero employees and only a few loyal customers. Now, your business has a faithful following, a website, and a few dozen employees. You think to yourself, your business is finally on 'easy street'. That is, until your business partner tells you he or she would like to leave the business.
