Pedro1, You bring up a very good point.
While the Companies Act 250 can provide protection against a Majority shareholder riding "roughshod" over the other shareholders this is not always the case.
If a Majority owner sees fit to abuse the trust placed in them by an investor who places their hard earned funds with them, the only real recourse is to hire legal resources. This can be a crapshoot and in then end you can come up with nothing years latter. This is one tactic used to avoid the rights of other minority shareholder.

So to answer the question somewhat, " explain how your % works-how everyone is protected."
In Belize unless you own the whole kit and caboodle, you stand to loose your investment, if your investment is with someone who can put on a great show, play to your "LIVE THE DREAM" dream, and elude to the idea that the reason everyone in town is bad talking is due to jealousy of their success. In the words of an honest person "Unless you see me doing it, I would not believe what you hear. They are just jealous." Don't be fooled by the research with the registry, some companies fail to file for years. This failure can leave unaccounted for shareholders in the lurch, allow for the false presentation of the worth of a company, and hide the true nature of the quest for investors. One final clue and hint are this. If can not see or have a part in the accounts of the company be it held in Belize or the USA or both turn and run as fast as you can. If the accounts are commingled with personal accounts because there have been no other owners or shareholders or no need to define business and personal matters, RUN EVEN FASTER. Nothing is transparent when it comes to accounting. It all must be seen and checked. Do not take the word of a "no bull**** guy/girl" it is most likely not true. But be careful the best of the best confidence men mix truth and lies so well that it appears to the educated it has the ring of truth and if your looking to live the dream well��.

In that response, don't read that there are no trustworthy and honest business owners or shareholders; it is a word of advice.

If you are buying "part" of a business do not let the seller/owner feed you a line of crap. Because you own does not mean you get a work permit. As an owner you cannot assume you will even get a work permit. YOU CAN live in your own house, home, or resort with out anything but a visa. YOU CANNOT WORK until you get said permits or became a resident. Those requirements can be found elsewhere.


I read it on the internet so it must be true.
