Spoke to a business lawyer earlier today and when I told him my partner would be financing the entire deal, he told me I'd be liable for taxes on the percentage of equity I receive on day one. Basically, if I got 25% of a company worth $1M, I'd owe taxes on the $250K because I didn't put any capital down. Is this true? I'm not sure I really wrapped my head around his explanation.
