bro i will try to make it more simple as possible;
-shares of stocks represent the percentage of your ownership to the overall business. naturally the more shares you have, the bigger your voice with regards to the business making decisions specially the major ones.
if you want to avoid complications, better have equal shares tanan so equal voice mo...what are these decision makings? these could be plan for expansion, purchase of major capital investments, etc.
however in every venture, partners have major competency so one partner handles marketing, productions, finance, etc....division of tasks bah...
you have hired an accountant dba? you can ask him more fully para ma explainan k abro..iron this out before starting the business.. clear the rules of engagement para dili mo paglalis imo partners..
hope this helps...
