What does it mean to have a percentage investment in a company?

514 viewsEconomicsOther

I’ve been watching old episodes of shark tank/dragons den. I know that: ludicrous amount of money for <10% = laughable deal, but I don’t know what it means to have a percentage in the company. My understanding is it’s how much of a say you have in the company? Not even sure that’s right.

you don’t necessarily have much say. But lets says the company grows and gets sold, you get you 10% of the money. Or if you want to sell you part. Really not much different than buying a stock in say Apple except one stock in Apple is about 0.000000006% of Apple
