Thanks DigitalSea. To confirm, I should do whatever it is the best for my business and not being overly concerned by guilt?

  I'm not an employer, so maybe I do not have a good perspective on this. But, as a business owner you probably depend on this business financially, perhaps you have family who depends on the business, and perhaps you have other employees who like working there. So it seems the choice is between upsetting one employee, or you can upset all those other people by not having your business run as efficient as possible. So I think your guilt would be multiplied if you upset all those other people. You didn't state what the personal issue is, I hope it's not something that's protected under discrimination laws.

  The only thing I would add, is rather than saying the issue is with team fit, take ownership and admit that the problem is that the two of you don't get along, and give your rationale that the conflict simply reduces your effectiveness running the company. Honesty and doing things right is the best way to avoid guilt and to keep the bridge of a professional relationship intact. This is a person who might be a good fit at a later stage in the company's development or someone who might feed a better candidate your way. Heck, one day, the employee might offer you a job.
