I am interested in partial ownership of a private small business, Is anybody aware of any resource that provides listings where businesses are willing to a sell equity stake? Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Abhay. One platform where I have seen owners offering minority equity stakes is www.smergers.com/. I can't speak to the quality of opportunities, but it might be worth checking out. At a minumum, it will put you in contact with some business owners. And like anything in this space, the more people you talk to, the better off you will be. I have noticed that Smergers tends to have more international opportunities, so just something to be aware of. I am interested in your strategy of partial ownership. I would be happy to talk further if you are looking to network/talk about ideas. You can reach me at redacted

Like Scott said, the ones I've seen have been for earlier stage companies. For those, AngleList is the big one (https://angel.co/). There are some sites for secondary shares of larger growth companies, too. Not sure who the biggest is...maybe Sharepost.
