To be honest your story is far from clear and I'm surprised at the clear cut advice you've been offered here based on your original post.

You registered the domain. You don't own it. You are the registrant, assuming it is in your name.

Did you register it on your behalf or on behalf of a business or on behalf of you and this guy?

The guy who was helping, is he an employee, friend, business partner, what?

Why would he be "sorting legalities for the business"? What does that actually mean anyway?

You are not looking to "erase him from the business". What does that mean? Does he share ownership?

He's been given "clear cut advice" {sic} - what can you add?

Clear cut doesn't necessarily mean correct.

I can't offer any genuine advice without knowing the exact circumstances as per my post. You obviously feel you can.

I am with diablo on this. Being the domain registrant is a good place to start from, but the OP raises issues that flag up ownership of copyright in the site, any agreement between the parties, etc. that would also need dealing with.

Without knowing more, it is not possible to advise properly - but what the OP has already said indicates that a "bull in a china shop" approach may well result in a messy outcome.

Yes I should aplogise for my choice of wording in my earlier reply (I won't edit it - it was irrational).

Comes to mind that I criticise others (and offer advice) where my understanding and success of "end-user" domains comes in. Then stupidly comment on a "build" that I agree to knowing very little about. I think its because I have gone through the "thats my domain / No it isin't scenario, once to often myself
