All good stuff Jonny. Plenty to think about and negotiate when setting up a business. Is this a new business that you're setting up in S Africa or the UK (or general musings)?
A few other points to throw into the mix: consider thresholds for share ownership in terms of ability to exercise control (51%) or special resolutions (75%) plus appointment as a director can hold quite a lot of weight - these apply in the UK, need to check local rules. Also, share options can be a neat way of incentivising employees with (future) shares, again subject to local rules.
Thanks again and keep them coming...
Cheers Steve, will defs do my research as hoping to set up a UK business to host all the software and tech side of things.
Appreciate the support massively!
