Should I go into business with family??

I think my brother and I are going to start a business together.he and I have never really seen eye to eye, but he is really good at what he does. Is this a bad idea, we are going in 50/50 but I have the feeling I am going to be doing more work than him!!

Answer:
If you think there may be problems, then maybe you shouldn't do it. Or, just make sure you both know exactly what each is going to do/contribute to the business, write it all out in a contract form, get a lawyer maybe, and the consequences if one doesn't uphold that. What's that saying about family and money? Can't think of it, but it's true. I'd say try and do it on your own if you can. Good luck!!
You are already leery of the idea. Your question points out that you never see eye to eye and you seem to think he's going to take advantage of you if you do it by leaving most of the work to you. Would you go into business with this person if he weren't your brother? If I'm going into business with anyone it will be someone I usually do see eye to eye with and will carry his share of the load. Otherwise I would not even think about it.
I think you answered your own question. The cons are you don't agree on things, and you think you will do most of the work. This is a no brainer, don't do it.
Never go into business with family

This has always been said
My husband and I went against That advice

Went into business with his sister and brother in law

2 years later we had to file bankruptcy because of some of the thing they pulled without our knowledge
no, never.let them buy shares of the company. its better because, your the only boss and or manager of the business
