What should i do?
Yeah but if you leave the business will go under for sure...just saying.
This is why I have little interest of starting my own business right now, for every 10 new businesses, most go under within a few years
I feel safer working for an established company that has a solid work load
Is he advertising, passing fliers around like at car meets ?
Upholstery work seems more like side business, not sure you could find enough jobs to do 40 - 60 hours a week.
If the guy is out of money and has bills pilling up, that isn't good.
