I invested in my friend's company but now I want out and they say I can't get my investment back. Is that true?
Hello, I invested and bought 2 shares in my friend's company and became a partner in a mortgage loan company. I was supposed to get certified as a loan officer and start processing loans but due to my full-time job, I don't have the time. Therefore I want out and I want my initial investment back. There are no overhead but taxes that they have to pay on the loans they have processed. With me not processing loans, I don't see the problem with me getting my initial payment back. They say there is no profit for me to get paid anything on and I actually owe money.

I would begin by reviewing the partnership agreement, the operating agreement and the articles of organization that you should have signed in order to become a vested partner. Each of those should have a legally binding exit clause.
Gather them, find an attorney and investigate.

Meet with a lawyer. You definitely will want a business lawyer involved if you are dissolving the partnership. Dissolution is a complicated procedure, and partners remain liable for the debts of their partnership. Accordingly, you will want a qualified attorney on hand to operate as a sounding board.

When investing, there are always risks of making a mistake and losing, if not all the funds, then some of them. Any investor seeks to avoid these risks. Risks depend on the future profit, the higher it is, the higher the risk level. Experts https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-HCR-Wealth-Advisors-EI_IE1404188.11,30.htm divide risks into several groups. The least risky investments are conservative, followed by investments with a moderate level of risk. Finally, the most dangerous aggressive investments. Based on the Golden mean, we can conclude that most people prefer moderate risk. In addition, many people use diversification, when investments are distributed across different objects. Diversification does not completely eliminate risks, but in any case it helps to save money.
