Well, I guess we would call them loans as I have all control. Correct
me if I am wrong. They gave me money at a fixed rate. Loans or
investments?

I mean...assuming it's you and the other 4, does
everyone have an equal share? (which is a different story all together)
or does 1 single person have a majority share and the other 4 are
minority partners

Well, I guess I found four "dumb" people that got me started. All my
start up funds came from 4 people. All four were subs from a previous
WISP I owned, (before my partner took everything over and left me out
in the cold) they all said, "I want you providing service, not the
"other guy". So here I am. 7 months in and going strong. Oh, almost
forgot, like my lawyer has me say......all that is just my opinion. ;-) I think
"dumb" investors are great!

sure
a passive minority equity position stake in a
privately held company is worthless, as legally, the person with the
majority stake can make 100% of the decisions (in terms of purchasing,
spending, cash distribution, etc)
think about it, if it was your money, would you
be willing to just "invest it" into a company when the majority partner
can do whatever he/she wants to and you have no recourse?

FWIW...no
invester (other than friends and family) worth their salt will be
willing to invest capital into the company for a minority position, as
that
is basically a sure way to guarantee the loss of their money
That said, there is a fool born every day
