I was reading a posting via Craigslist and someone is offering a stake in their company. The said if chosen, the person would get a 25% stake in the company which equates to 25% of the shares. Just curious as to what the answer is.

I totally agree with the last answer. Also, keep in mind that anyone can offer you a piece of their company, just make sure the articles of incorporation or the partnership agreements get amended with your name and your rights.

Sure can, but be advised that the person who owns 51% runs the company and makes decisions as she or he sees fit... the other 49% doesn't mean squat usually for that stockholder unless it's stipulated in the by-laws to get dividends or some form of profit-sharing, etc.

I am somewhat surprised to see a private offering solicitation made via the internet. I don't think this is normally done.
See attached URL for some information on the topic.

yes. I also offer share of my pvt. ltd. company. a company grows from properiotrship to partnership to private limited to public limited and through out this process it offers share of the company to other investors.

Yes they can, just not through a public Stock Exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE
