IDEAS required for COMPENSATION in a startup!!?

It is a 3-year old, privately held, small U.S. training company, well known in its space. Wants to expand to third world Country-X. Set foot in Country-X one year ago, did initial business, but everything was directly controlled from the U.S. Nobody local to drive the business, hence, hardly started.

Enter trusted Aide, a professional, trained in the U.S., who now wants to part-own and lead business in Country-X. U.S. provides funding, training material and back-end support. Initial 6 months evaluation agreed upon, and Aide settles on a small compensation package. Time passes. Aide, now in Country-X for an year, has control of daily buiness (and very little visibility on finances) and grows it seriously. Makes decent money for Country-X office, which is small and can collapse without the aide.

Consider that Aide has forgone better offers to make this an “own” company. Looking for guidance on salary, % ownership etc. models with / without Aide’s capital investment.

What works?
