Any sociologists and can you help me make a difficult decision?

a year ago i rekindled a service industry business that i thought i would never restart again do to to many personel problems. once again i have reached that point and the biz will grow no further with out one of two things happening; virtual slave labor or start sharing the biz ,ownership and profits with friends that i trust. my question is would it be better to have two or three owners. i feel there could be trouble with just two and i feel that three would have a certain checks and balances type thing. ofcourse the trade off is less pie but a stronger base. what are the known social dynamics of such arraingements?

I have no degree in sociology, however, it has been my observation that groups of three don't usually work. There always seem to be two against one. Perhaps five would be better. You have a better chance of having one person being a swing vote. Perhaps You could have a governing board of three with little or no financial stake in the business, and just two owners, or conversely three owners and a board of two.

Lady M is on with the split and votes. As any number can be won over but some one with back bone needs to lead.
