    How to gain control of my business from my drug addict partner

    HELP! Buying my first home with cash from my business

    Thanks everyone for your help and advice so far. I must say, looking at this thread it appears that the most efficient way for us to do this is to register a new business which I would loan the money to. Ok we will have to pay the 3% stamp duty surcharge, whereas an individual will not...
