I started a general contracting business with 3 other friends a little over a year ago. I took care of all the accounts, as far as obtaining them (atleast 80%)and CS/QA (100%) while still taking on my "fair share" of the primary work load.
Now, I've been offered a sweet gig in West Palm Beach, FL with an established construction firm. My partners are willing to buy me out of the business, so everything should be fine..... right?
Wrong. Every single account I've told about the change is PO'd big time. Basicly they only know me and know what to expect from me and aren't going to deal with my partners without fishing around for new contractors.
Is it ethical to still sell my share of the business to my partners knowing this? Worst case scenario is they loose every account. Even a good case is they have to drop their prices to retain the business we already "have".
I feel SOL at this point and feel like I have no other choice but to stay where I'm at
