After that I'd issue stocks to the parent company to dilute the founder's share to an insignificant amount.
That way, it's somewhat private just that you can't IPO again.
Hallo,
thanks for you addition.
I have an related workaround ... but i will not issue a ton of new shares.
You can just fire the existing founder - i had it often that he then sell the stock afterwards.
I was a little to reserved with my wish... this new options would be nice:
- merge them (like it is) --> this is fine for small competitors which i will integrate with just a handful of firms and no real brand or if he has the same expertise like me.
- merge them (like it is) --> + with activated "Product Customization" integrate his existing products like they are (without upgrading my or his factories with the new tech...)
- make them directly a 100% Sub --> all firms are directly transferred with the existing brand and his own R&D.
- make them directly a 100% Sub --> + take all his money and set a new capital
- make them directly a 100% Sub --> + strip of an entire expertise... like leave him R&D and manufactures but overtake (merge) all retail/farm/raw mat/...
- make them directly a 100% Sub --> + other options i missed?
It would be much more like in real... atm its just a pain.
