Hi all,I started a ecommerce (self fulfillment) business 4 years ago with a friend. We sold 20% shares to his father which put them at 60% total ownership together and me 40%. Things went well for 4 years until I went fulltime with the business last year. The two of us are both directors of the company. His father is just a shareholder.Since going full-time, I have been constantly bullied by the other two shareholders because they say I'm not deserving my wage, doing enough etc when they don't even see all the work I do everyday. I wrote a massive list of all my responsibilities and they decided at the end because I was taking 65% of the profits to pay my wages, they weren't happy with this and want to go back to the two of us working for free during nights, weekends etc.Now they have decided together they want to close the business down and sell everything up and cash out. I feel helpless because I've put in ~90% of the work over the last 4 years and I don't have the majority of shares to go against them.I asked to buy their shares out over time but they said they will only accept instant payment, and wanted an inflated sale price for their shares (more money than they would make if liquidated).I really want to continue to run this business but don't know what to do. If we close down the business, I'll lose our customer base and everything I've worked for. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
