Questions & Advice
Selling shares to employees

I am with a private company, setting up a subsidiary in the U.S. Is it common for a private company to give employees shares? Are there some approvals in a private company context, that require unanimous shareholder approval under corporate law? What I am getting at is here we give employees shares, but if you let them go, then they block things.
Add your input!
