First, just because someone has been helping you doesn't mean that you have to make them a partner in YOUR business.

You don't say what you have agree to do with this person. Did you agree to a partnership? Or a % of sales? Or what.

Yes, you need to speak to a lawyer who specializes in small business. Write down your situation and questions so that you get the best use of their time and your money.

I would also suggest that you attend as many business classes as possible. Passion and knowledge is great. As are the business skills you'll be needing.
