I'm a junior LAMP stack developer and I have created a CRM(Customer Relation Management Software) for a client and it has become very successful, so successful in fact that a company that makes 2.5 billion annually has inquired how much it would cost for them to become co-owners of my software. I've been doing research all day and night, but I'm still clueless as exactly how I should approach this situation. How should I evaluate my software? What steps should be taken? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Really interesting question but I think it would be a better fit on the Startup SE.

Congratulations. It is probably worth consulting a lawyer. You might want to push back and ask them how big a stake they want to buy? Give them a non binding verbal and see if they balk. After that you definitely want an attorney.

Thanks Myles, I'll ask there. And sorry for being off topic, DJ, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this question.

Unrelated to Workplace. Also, there is no need to post the topic around the network - if you posted it in Startups, wait for answers there.
