The answer

It is permissible to divide the project into equal shares, with an additional percentage to cover issuance expenses. However, Sharia prohibitions must be avoided, such as the impermissibility of the work field, issuing interest-bearing bonds, or preferred shares. It is permissible to set a fixed percentage of the profits for the founder in exchange for managing the company. However, if it is merely for offering shares for public subscription, then this is not permissible.
