Should I Own 51% of the Stock?
Why Should I Own 51% of the Stock?
Why is 51% such an important STOCK OWNERSHIP percentage? Others own 49%…ONLY 2% difference. Is 2% such a BIG DEAL?? YES! YES! YES!
Obviously, your PARTNERS may be SMART, too! What IF they want to OWN 51% and let YOU be the 49% owner? DEPENDS! An old saying is….HE who has the GOLD makes the RULES. Maybe you are really getting a wonderful deal when someone offers you any OWNERSHIP in a company. It could be 25%. Maybe 10%. It all depends on many FACTORS.
What are YOU contributing to the deal? Do you have the GOLD? Expertise? Contacts? Following? Etc.? YOUR contribution may be MORE VALUABLE than the money. Without YOU…maybe there is NO company. YOU’VE got a powerful CARD to play in this equation and I would REQUIRE equity. Why 51% ownership? Its called POWER! You may never have to use it. It simply protects YOU! YOU cannot be FIRED! Own 49% and YOU can lose YOUR position without recourse. The AMAZING value of owning 2%!! More.
Do ALL EQUAL business ventures GO WRONG??
Absolutely NOT! When you are in business with PARTNERS of Equal ownership….NOBODY has control. If you need to make a MAJOR decision and cannot agree….the challenge begins.
Do not say…WE WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM! Business partners is another term for Marriage! You are in bed with your business partner (not really, unless it’s your spouse!). However, be assured you will have some challenges.
No business….no marriage….no church family….YOUR family….simply CANNOT run for long without a few challenges. Could be called OPPORTUNITIES. Either way, the running will not always be smooth sailing.
What kind of problems? Let me give you a Few examples. Who puts in the MONEY? How much VACATION? Company car? Hire my kids? Spouse? Buy a computer? Set up retirement? Buy a bus? Bring MY dog to work? Hundreds of questions that must be answered….this is ONLY the beginning.
BUSINESS TIP: Ask YOURSELF…whom do I want to make these decisions? Own 51% of the stock and YOU control the FINAL decision. Again, YOU need good counsel. You can OWN 51%…make a BAD decision…and be BANKRUPT. Your ownership of a business does not GUARANTEE success.
