A lot of people are saying 'get a lawyer', but I have different advice: If you don't trust the guy, don't start a company with him. Really. You will need to deeply and totally trust each other in every thing you do for years if you go down this route, and if he's dodgy about this, he's going to be dodgy about everything, to you, your customers, your future employees, etc. Investors will see it too, and they won't want to invest if they can't trust him and if you two don't have a professional, trusting relationship and absolute dedication to the success of the company over your personal gain. Don't do it.

Right on. Right now, there is no company. The OP owns the software and the implementation not the concept is the only thing that has concrete value. The business person's obligation is to execute on the business side, and that obligation hasn't been fulfilled. Moreover, the business person has stated that they are not going to execute their role until they feel like it. Let the other fellow lawyer up.

Ending the relationship might well be the right course of action -- but I'd still meet with a lawyer to discuss it!
