I have a question on bring people to help start up a company.  My friend want to help me with my business but not invest any money just his time and effort in marketing the company.  In return, he asked for 10% share of the company.  Is that a fair value request? and how to I create a performance base measurements to make sure he delivers 10% share of the company.  My business is an online  viral martketing.  Or is there an alternative solution.  I am so new to this area.

It depends on what you determine is his value.  However, a lot of times the 10% share is reasonable.  You may want to reference our FREE entrepreneur guide as to how to start, operate and grow your business in today's web 2.0 world.  I believe this would be extremely helpful in determining how to structure your company.  What is your corporate structure going to be?  This guide can assist you.

10% of your company could be too much if your're already have a going concern with product/service for sale.  Why not hire commissioned salespersons and only pay for result?

At minimum, have his shares vested over 4 years.
