Myself and my best friend set up a limited company 50/50

This answer was rated:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Myself and my best friend set up a limited company 50/50 split I put £50k into the company to bank roll it to get it going and he had all of the contacts. Now he wants to not pay me anymore and do away with the dividends and all payments I receive because he gets all of the work in and I only do administrative stuff. He also says this is not what we verbally agreed, But in my eyes from the start I had money and he had the contacts deal sealed.

Do you hold half of the shares? Is there a Shareholder’s Agreement?
