Why should a buyer pay more?! If the company is worth 1million for 100%, no way I pay 1million for half. You need to read about startups and valuation. Usually the owner has a percentage (>50%) and unassigned shares for investors to buy and the valuation is calculated on the price investors a share of the company. | |
