Hello , I am in a confusion regarding removal of share holder from my private firm . Let me explain the scenario . I am running a private firm for 3 years ( civil engineering services ) . In which I have my father and brother as share holders . Out of 5000 shares , my brother holds 3000 shares and I hold 2000 shares and rest 1000 shares are held by my father. Basically the nature of our work is to work for US projects . So typically everything has to be dealt over calls and emails. In this case , both my father and brother are illiterates while I am an ME grad . They are just sleeping partners . I work day and night for this firm from the beginning. Now I want to remove my brother from the share holders while he is denying to sign the papers though he had not given any capital amount for starting this firm . I am literally confused and stressed about this . Without doing any work he wants to be part of the firm . I have done many things to him after starting this firm like I have started a provision store , cement shop , pesticide shop in his name and many more help in form of cash . I have made a brand name for my firm with my clients . It will be really hectic for me to change the name of the company and reproduce the same reputation . PS : My Father is on my side . He also thinks my brother should sign papers for resigning himself from the share holders since my father also knows that I am the only person who work for this company . Kindly help me with this .
