I'm going to be offered a job next week, the wages are about where I need them now. It's a small company owned by 2 partners employing about 6 other people, doing quite well for a number of years.
I'd be next in line after the partners mainly dealing with expanding the company.
I've never been in the position of negotiating terms, what I'd like is to gradually start "owning" a percentage of the company related to how it expands while I'm there. Suggestions on how I go about that?
For back ground, one partner started the business, the other bought a 50% share when it was just the 2 of them, so emotional attachment also involved. We've all been friends for a number of years as well.
I have no money to buy in even if that was an option.
Cheers.

Thank you, and I now know what an EMI scheme is, every day's a school day.
