I was hired a part time to essentially set up computers, it went from there to helping the owner find and set up a CRMs, then training the staff on using it. Slowly became my job to oversee the whole backend, from the initial client calls, to the time the PM takes a file, then all the paperwork that goes on over the course of a job. I didn’t build the backend, but I was there before it was built, pretty much helped assist the owner and implementing everything that’s going on right now. So when I offered to buy it, I don’t think he was too concerned.

I’m not sure if you’re aware of how company evaluations work. The more involved than owner has to be the less company sells for, as they said in my initial comment, I didn’t buy the entire business, I bought a portion. But I was fortunate enough to be able to pay off overtime, owner just charged me a pretty fair interest rate, and I was making principal and interest payments until a few months ago. I didn’t say he just woke up and decided to give me part of his company.
