There are several strategies businesses can employ to achieve ownership retention:
Equity Financing: Opt for equity financing options that minimize dilution, such as convertible notes or SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). Profit-Sharing: Implement profit-sharing plans instead of issuing new shares to reward employees, preserving ownership stakes. Buybacks: Conduct share buybacks to reduce the number of outstanding shares and increase the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. Succession Planning: Develop a robust succession plan to ensure family ownership is retained across generations.
