I also run a clothing store now, the situation is the same as yours, but I do it with my cousin, and she contributes, and she doesn't care about the things in the store. I am fully responsible. However, she and I are very good. Anyway, when the store has money, it can be used together, and when it has no money, it can be saved. However, if it is not blood relationship, it is better to distinguish clearly.

You said that after you earned the capital, the profit would be split in half. I think it seems a little unfair to you. It is equivalent to waiting for him to earn back all the money. He didn't have to do anything, and the money came back. Although you can officially start making your own money, you did it for nothing before.

The main problem now is that you did it for nothing in the early stage, so I personally think it's best to count your salary in the early stage, and help him earn his capital back as a part-time job, and then divide the profit into half after the capital is earned back.
