1. Is your primary goal right now to earn money?

If no, then definitely tell them you don't want a hand in any executive function of the business and need to think of exit plan. If yes, continue to ask yourself the following questions.

a. Is the company healthy financially? NTA, dividend payouts, cash flow
b. Does working for the company net you better remuneration prospects than working your current job?
c. Can you handle the stress and the time commitment of handling 2 jobs?
d. Is the company being run well? Does the management seem to know what it is doing? How many employees there? Or is it run by jokers.
e. Is the company and its industry growing or shrinking?
f. Do you have the right set of skills to eventually run the company? If you don't can you identify where the gaps are and how fast can you close these gaps?
g. I don't need to write more, it should give you enough guidance.
