Working Through The Numbers on Ownership

Working Through The Numbers on Ownership

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

I’m often asked, “what’s a fair division of ownership between business partners” and “how much equity should I give an investor?” The short and obvious answer is: it depends. In his short post by the same name, David Ronick, founder of UpStart Advisors, illustrates how one entrepreneur thought through the process when raising capital, after initially sharing some of the ownership with key employees and advisors. As David points out, each time you add more people to the mix, you dilute the proportions that the earlier owners were entitled to. Like what you read?

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
