A partnership must know how to allocate equity.

For any company, how to allocate equity has always been an important secret of the company. Generally speaking, when starting a company, partners usually get the corresponding equity according to the amount of capital contribution. Generally, the equity distribution is relatively clear and the structure is relatively simple. However, with the development of the company and the continuous expansion of profits, various conflicts of interest will inevitably arise in the distribution. Therefore, a reasonable ownership structure is the cornerstone of company stability. In 2004, after graduation, Liu Xie wanted to open a beauty salon. The total investment of the first phase of the project is estimated to be 500,000 yuan. Not having that much money, Liu Xie found some friends to work together. Because others don't know much about this project, they need him to operate it himself. Liu Xie doesn't have much money in his hand. He can spend up to 65,438+10,000 yuan, so he can't buy large shares. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles and disputes in future business, Liu Xie found a lawyer and raised a series of questions. "This project is completely run by me. Can you count some technology stocks? What aspects should we pay attention to in partnership equity? " The lawyer listened to Liu Xie and gave him some advice. Liu Xie talked with his friends again at the suggestion of his lawyer. Of the 400,000 they invested, 200,000 were borrowed by themselves, giving them more compensation in the initial distribution of benefits. Such an operation makes Liu Xie a major shareholder, and the company's future operation can be completely controlled by him. Doing so will effectively prevent these friends from interfering in business as major shareholders in the future, thus leading to career failure. Liu Xie's story tells us that the issue of equity distribution must be discussed in advance. If you dare not bring it up now, for fear of hurting your feelings, there will be more trouble in the future. Partnerships and joint-stock companies are based on contracts, and personal feelings should be put aside. So, what problems should we pay attention to when allocating equity? 1. Understand the actual situation of the company. It is impossible for any textbook to tell you what criteria a company's shares should be divided according to. This is a very personal question. To solve this problem, in addition to mastering certain sexual knowledge, the key is to understand the actual situation of the company. Only by understanding the actual situation of the company can we do a good job in the distribution of equity. 2. The number of shares should be equal to the shareholder's value to the company, that is to say, the shareholder can measure his value to the company from the aspects of investment, intellectual property rights, industry experience, social resources, current role distribution and responsibility in the company, and this value is the company shares he should get. 3. Before splitting the shares, the overall value of the company should be evaluated. In other words, it is necessary to evaluate the sum of the company's physical assets and intangible assets. The former is easy to estimate, and the latter must be determined by a special evaluation agency. For a newly established company, the evaluation at this time is the most troublesome, but a figure acceptable to everyone can be determined through consultation. 4. It is necessary to adopt a flexible form of handling, and it is not necessary to divide shares in place at one time. Equity issues can be handled in the form of profit sharing, options and employee stock ownership meetings.
