You can handle it in advance by requiring "vesting" periods where you are working but not an owner. The existing owners then get the chance to offer you ownership, or not. This is how most private physician practices work, and AFAIK a lot of law firms as well.

So if you're a lazy employee for your initial 2-year contract, you don't get any offer when your contract expires. If you're not, you might get a contract extension or an offer to buy in as an owner.
