I have been managing, renovating, doing work on property for some businessmen for the past half a year or so, I know them, We have a good relationship, and I always pull through and help them find ways to save/make more money on their ventures.

From negotiating prices and making tough descisions for them and more.

They have a new development and the go ahead funding for a multimillion project to build an apartment building, they have told me that they want to take their holding company and go public with it in Africa as there's less regulations and red tape, they want me to be the CEO of the company for them, wich sounds like a good prospect for me.

I know a lot about the business , but not a lot about public companies and more specifically the legal side. I feel like they don't want their name on it because they have a bad past (their previous public company got caught up a pump and dump scheme) and that is understandable as I will help the company look like a better prosepect and won't turn away investors.

My concern is that my name is on the company and I don't want to set myself up in a bad position. We have lawyers and everything that will be with us, something still makes me feel like I'm missing something here.

If anyone has had a public company before or knows about this area please help me out or just throw in your two pence.
