Hey I have a question for those who have business experience..

I have 2 businesses with a few people working for me. But when it comes down to paper work I want to know what are the exact positions for these people and myself

I got a independant record label I'm starting so it's me and another guy co owning it and running it I also do the engineering he's a rapper and we have 5 other rappers on the label.

I also have a production company which I do alot of the beats for the label I also got another dude who does beats under that company we do colabs here or there but hes avery good business man I wanna put him in postion of power but not in postion to over throw me...

with what I discribed for paper work purpose who gets paid and for what and when do they get paid also what would be the titles on these people?

I really need to know this for paper work and stuff also we are going to start shows here soon and I wanna make sure everyone gets paid for what they did and gets paid a fair right amount I also wanna make sure I'm paid for what I do as well

they ain't no rules about this...i think it's about what you consider it's fair.

give a thought to everyone's contribution to the companies and take that to percentages...
that is what i did once i had to split royalties betwwen 15 artist involved on
an album projetc.

make your numbers and then talk to them and get an agreement.

good luck with that and sorry for my poor english.
