So 7 people could form a corporation to do this? One owns 49% and the rest 8.5% each. Or 11 people if you want equal shares for all.


Yes, but it would be very difficult to coordinate their overlapping/conflicting interests. It could work in the case of family members, whose interests are generally more aligned. But the tax code allows the IRS to attribute ownership among related persons. So you can't do this sort of thing with people who are close blood relatives, otherwise the ownership structure can be collapsed, and it won't work.
