Thank you both for you answer. i do know the business very well so no worries on that front and it is infact myself requesting a share in the company.
when a company is set set up a share of the company is given to each big cheese normally. however if a decision needs to then be made about the company they will need a 75% share holder majority to agree to that decision. if i hold 26% that will mean i have to also be included in all decision making in the company.
you will both now know the answer if ever you get asked for it again. Thank you.
