Suppose you want to start a lemonade stand. It will cost $100 to get all of the materials together and set up the business. You have $80. Your best friend has $20 and is willing to invest in the company. You decide to split the company 80/20, based on the money you each put in. This means you own 80% of the company and your friend owns 20%. If you think of this in terms of shares, you own 80 shares worth $1 apiece and your friend owns 20 shares at $1 apiece (or you own 4 shares at $20 apiece or 40 shares at $2 apiece or however many shares you decide the company will have). At the end of every month, you get 80% of the profits and your friend gets 20%. If you both decide your friend wants to own more of the company, you can sell some of your shares so that you each own 50% of the company.
