At first glance (and that's what I usually go with) I would **thank my
lucky stars** and run with it!! If you ever wanted the opportunity to
ease into your own business, with a built-in customer in your old
employer, and a source for getting all your business set-up info and
assistance, well, you got it now!
Congrats and good luck!
