Ownership breakdown
Majority stake · Operating controlImplied valuation math
Paying $8,500 for 51% values the whole business at $16,667. That is roughly $167 per percentage point of ownership.
What this stake conveys
Above 50% you control ordinary-course decisions and the board seat count. Protective provisions typically still apply to the retained minority on sale, dilution, and debt.
Verified before listing
The founder attested to owning at least 51% and uploaded ownership evidence (cap table, operating agreement, or equivalent). Timber reviews entity standing and authority to sell before a listing goes live. Majority control; founder stays on as roaster for 12 months.
Retained-ownership impact
Founder retains 49% after this deal — founder holds a blocking minority
Voting
Founder controls ordinary votes and board composition; buyer votes as a minority holder.
Information
Buyer receives quarterly financials, cap table updates, and annual tax documents.
Consent
Buyer consent typically limited to protective items: new share classes, dilution below a floor, sale of the company.
Voting
Even split — no side carries a vote alone. A tiebreak seat, casting vote, or mediator is written into the operating agreement.
Information
Full mutual access to books, records, and management reporting.

Effectively every material decision is a joint consent item, including budget, hiring of officers, and debt.

Information

Consent
