Huh, good point, I never thought about that. Makes sense. I only ever heard about options to get shares when the company becomes publicly traded. Of course, publicly traded is what I meant.

Do the owners also get money based on the shares?

Correct; for private companies, any net profit after taxes can be distributed to shareholders as dividends.

Most companies will keep some cash on hand to cover a negative performing period (ie. when costs exceed revenue), so not all profits would be distributed every quarter.
