    The issue is control of the business. As long as you own over 50% of the stock, you are in control. However, minority shareholders rights cannot be completly disregarded. You should get some advice on a number of issues from your CPA & your Attorney.

    Its almost like getting a loan for your business. You will need to pay back the investors somehow, or they will get very angry with you, like angry picketers with torches and pitchforks angry. Check my profile for a fun investment.
