Share of profit from shared investment?

[viciam]

Hi guys,

If me and a friend want to put in money together to put in a company how would we work out our share on the possible gain?

Me: $1000
Friend: $2000

Total investment: $3000

Price goes up and we see a 50% return: Profit $1500

How would I work out how much I get of that profit and how much my friend gets?

Thanks in advance

Really??

1/3 = 0.3333
0.3333 * 1500 = 500

Id be working out how your going to handle loss more than profit.
But in answer.
Its something you need to work out between you--in writing and before you go into it.
Same with losses.

A shelf Company to set up would be $1-1.5K.
Then you'd have to set up the tax side of it.

For $3k Id be handling it as individuals.

I think he's alluding to his expertise being seen as an advantage.
That---is negotiable.

Can't work out simple profit sharing maths - and you want to trade
With 3k? You end up paying it all in fee

If my friend could not get his idea off the ground with $2k, I would claim to have leverage over him.
I would be demanding the first three years profit.

He would probably retaliate by hiring a creative accountant to ensure that first three years were not profitable.

It's not a simple mathematical question!?

I think it was a more simplistic question and people are reading too much into it.

I may be misinterpreting but I assumed that he just means put the 3 grand into a company, as in purchase shares in a listed company not actually start his own company.

If this is correct then refer back to Prawn's response.
