An offer for company shares

Simplified example

Another player wants to buy 20% of your company. The money would go into the company. You would keep 80%.

What do you do?

Choose a decision to see its consequences. You can look at every option; there is no time limit and no one right answer.

A. Accept

Right away: The company has more money, and you share future payouts and decisions in the general meeting.

Possible later: More partners are possible, but at most 49% in total. The majority stays with you.

B. Offer only 10%

Right away: You give away less, and the company gets less money.

Possible later: Whether she agrees is her decision.

C. Decline

Right away: Everything stays with you, including the risk.

Possible later: You then have to fund growth from your own money.
