In a new business, how much of a percentage of the business can i expect bringing none of the cash to get the business up and running. I did bring my time and ideas but was not able to help financially.

• It is a massage clinic and oxygen bar. The partners with the money have put in just as much or more time than i have. Once we do get profitable, my partners want to give me 5% of the business, but i think i should be getting more than that.

• 5% off the top or 5% from the profit - big difference. 5% off the top could be alot to ask considering the costs for supplies, rent,utilities, licenses, sales tax (at least 8%) that have to come out first.

• They want to give me 5% of the profit after all expenses are paid.

• When going into business with other people it is necessary to have a written agreement that cover every part of the business. If you do not like any of the provisions of the agreement, don't sign it.

• Is the amount of capital put into a business what determines what percentage a partner gets?

• No. What determines the percentage is what the partners agree on. That can be based on age, money, amount of work, or any other thing. They simply have to agree, and that is all it takes.
