What is the percentage of ownership?

Answer 1

The percentage of ownership is based off of established articles of ownership accepted and comprised to base measurement. It may be calculated various ways by outright purchase by monetary measure of equity, the amount of invested amount based off of total valuation. The determinations via time/labor and work contribution values to ownership or pre-existing limited ownership rights may be established via the time/labor and work contribution values. Examples of this are simplified as follows.

A businesses net worth of value is entirely in it's equity - building, effort, inventories all provided by a single business owner - then he has established 100% rights of ownership.

A business's full net worth of $100,000 but has limited investors that together comprise $10,000 so they've established 10% claim into a business.

In some companies may established a co-op or partially employee owned where a percentage of labor invested by a set calculated measure entitles them to small percentage of ownership. Example if an employee labors 5 years may have access to a 2% tier into the company 15years of invested labor 12% and in some cases the cap of ownership or limitations may apply such as 25 or 35 years then a maximum of 25% ownership with ability to access dividend profits for retirement into a stake of 25% or lesser rate for long-term time/effort investment.

Some ownership valuations also may be negotiated via partnerships and the content of limited access or rights of ownership some - may strictly serve as partner but with no managing rights till main owner rights are surrendered due to circumstances such as death or illness of the owner - this is common in right of law if a sole proprietor dies or becomes ill and the spouse, heirs or chosen partner is signed on to continue operations in their absence.

other more complex issues involve valuations or resources and land access and or time contracts such as controlled lease rights to mine for Natural Resources or access to infrastructure establishments like a controlled long-term lease on a building if not in use may permit the original lease holder if no provision limiting access to sublease for higher current market evaluations for profit. Then the original control lease holder has right to ownership of profit of sublease revenues but the original building owner may not grant access to sublease revenues unless pre-established agreements are in the original controlled lease stating a cut of these profits.

Example 1956 F.W. Woolworth's establishes a 65 year controlled lease for $5,000 per month when lease for the property at current time 1955 is worth only $988 for a store but in 1994 they close the store they keep the lease but the property value is at $22,000 per month they sublease it for that amount till 1997 till faced with bankruptcy and closure but as they sell the controlled lease to real estate investor for profit and can do so... today long term leases are rare ownership's of a valuation not till the 1970's and 1980's did original building owners established percentage of sublease revenue by right of ownership as per amounts of 55% and pre-established rules the original lease holder holds business there hence why some stores have sub businesses inside such as booths or kiosk sources that may actually be subleases.

The percentage of ownership is much more complex and highly negotiated in real estate business leases as subleasing or shares of right ownership in sales via seasonal satellite store operations provides or garner additional revenues for both the original tenant and the building owner - key examples are the Allstate insurance booths in the 1970's in Sears department stores or Hickory Farms or Holiday photo booths in some stores.

***Contributor insight into real estate ownership percentages based off sublease agreements was an employee of F.W. Woolworth's and various retail operations in the 1980's to 1990's and included local department stores in Virginia: Miller & Rhoads and Thalhiemer's as well as Sears. Insight into labor ownership based off Honeywell corporation in Virginia please note policies of ownership or investment labor stated may have changed due to actions of the Enron issues of employee loss investments through Enron 401K losses. As new government laws or legal changes may impact such ownership or rights of ownership monetary policies very few grandfather clause lease agreements exist one well know is Guinness Beer whose factory founder established a 2,000year lease.
