Investing in a Small Private Business? Buyers Beware - Video

Recently I have been receiving numerous thoughtful questions for my weekly podcast. At present, I am receiving far more questions than I can answer in the podcast format in a timely manner. The editorial management of Allbusiness suggested that I try and answer some of the questions here in my blog which I think is a great idea. We received a question from a listener asking about investing in a small private company. Her question specifically concerned what sort of percentage of ownership she should receive for her investment.
