When there is three partners in business can two partners make a decision without the other partner.

In business, do all partners have to come to a agreement before a decision is made?

First question - Is it right..... Not if it is a new partnership - why start off with a negative to the partnership. Are you listening to wht he doesn't want the new van yet? In addition to the cost of the van - it being a commercial vehicle you are probably looking at having to have it insured for the standard one million dollars. Second commercial licensing of the vehicle and the drivers - another expense - have you looked at all the ancillary expenses you will be dealing with - specially if the business is new and your trying to get it off the ground? I don't know if this is what the third partner is considering - but I would be... trying to get a new business started and then wanting to toss on extra expenses that may or may not work... get the business going good - then get a vehicle. A vehicle is an expensive undertaking for a small business.

Is it right - no, is it legal - yes

Thsi was the best answer. The other answer was also good, and answered the question as to why the thied party doesn't want the expense, and I thank you for it. The first answer answered the question for the legal point, and this is what I was looking for. Thank You both for your answers it really help me.
