I have a character that owns a part of a family business that has become quite successful. Would he get a piece of the profit monthly, quarterly, yearly? Does it make a difference if it is publicly traded company? It's not a large part of the plot, but a detail I'd like to be informed on before including it.
Hi, I'm no expert but I do know that a limited company can pay dividends from its profits. This could be monthly or quarterly if you wanted it to be. (UK).
in either case, it depends on how the company and its dividends-paying system is set up... if a privately owned family business and he is a working member in it, as my 2nd ex and his brothers were, he'd be getting a salary, in addition to a cut of the profits...
