406933 2005-11-23 23:29:00 my 17 year old bro wants to purchase a small business wif sum cash i gave him. will he need me or his parents to co-sign the forms etc when buying the business? lance4k (4644)
406934 2005-11-23 23:59:00 Someone under 18 can't be held to a contract I think, maybe its 16. You're not going to be able to go far without signing contracts. Everything should be put under your parents name I suspect, this would make things a lot easier. DangerousDave (697)
406935 2005-11-24 00:35:00 This will have the "minor" side effect that the co-signers can, and will, be held responsible if it all goes wrong.

It's not the sort of thing to be entered into lightly.

Aren't you the person who wanted to know about getting on the dole, then wanted to know about buying a house and now wants to know about lending money to a minor.

Tell me - what's the secret to your success?

406938 2005-11-24 03:34:00 If it were me I would look into fake ID, this is a good workaround although some people may frown upon this idea, but when implemented correctly works a treat. Rob99 (151)
406939 2005-11-24 04:28:00 ... fake ID ... when implemented correctly works a treat. Incorrect implementation (that is, being caught) will just add to the load on the Corrections Department, which is already busy building more prisons.

I thought "Rob" was a name, not a verb. :groan:
