Owning a animation company – NNNN Animations from <date> to <date> - - - Note: I was one of the owners of this company and now I am out of it. I was looking after this company along with my partners I would only use present tense for my current employment. Since you say you now have no ownership interest in the company I would recommend this: Owned an animation company – NNNN Animations from <date> to <date> Your proposed sentence implies that you were the sole owner of the company but you say that you were one of the owners so you probably should state what percentage of the company you owned or at least indicate that you were not the sole owner.

  • Possibly by stating that you were a partner or part owner or major investor.
  • The exact wording will of course depend on your role in the company.
