From the way this is written it seems you have already talked yourself into taking the new position. My advice is leave on good terms with your current employer. No one can fault a person for taking an opportunity to potentially better their life ,because lord knows that a business will do what is in their best interest. Just remain professional with your current employer,and if it is a good place that is well run they will not take it personal.

Is the 30% including the savings of not having to drive back and forth to the current office?
Either buy the company(all or part) or move on.

Grass is never greener on the other side. It’s just a different shade of brown.

For all the people saying “buy the company”, why would you buy a company that can’t afford to give their managers a pay raise in five years?

Because it will be yours to run. Maybe the owner was a cheap SOB and didn’t give out raises. Maybe it wasn’t a cash flow issue? Or maybe If it was a cash flow issue you as the new owner can step in and make efficiency upgrades to cut costs etc.
Lots if if’s and and’s with not enough information from OP

Mingo is right here.
Also, everyone is assuming OP is 2nd in charge is that the case OP? The owner may have other plans in the works and who says he is ready to sell or whatever in 5 years?
This is what I’d do OP:
1.) work out all the little details with new employer. Make sure it’s what you think it is
2.) put in notice with current employer and see if it goes somewhere
Finally, just remember a lot can change in just 1-2 years. I wouldn’t bet shite on a current company in 5 years. Take the money today.

Yeah by “close to owner,” we’re not that small nor am I in a position to really ask for substantial ownership at this point.
Official offer was received this afternoon after some negotiation to a 33% increase and solid commission plan. I’m resigning on Monday.
Nothing like anonymous feedback, all.
