related question: was just curious about how did you guys manage the starting years of the business considering investments were free and the client base was small, so less brokerage income as well. I mean did you guys infuse your own money into the company afterwards also. and if so, when did the company become self sufficient?

We started as a 5 member team in like tiny office. We didn’t infuse any money after starting, everything generated from the business itself. Thankfully we were in the green from the first year. We have grown very slowly and organically. I had this talk from a few years back, talks about the beginning bit of the journey, probably has answers to your questions.
