    You literally have to enlist the services of an Attorney to draw up legal papers establishing you as the owner, and them as silent partners, or whatever role thay have all agreed to play.

    IF they are not playing any part in the business [owning a percentage], then you should have loan papers drawn up, so they can never come to you and say, "We decided to take control and you're out, being as it's our money in the biz...".

    If you don't have money for a lawyer, go to an office supply store, get papers, amend them, and have an attorney go over them before submitting them to investors for NOTARIZED signatures.
