Twenty-five years of building the websites Main Street actually needed.
BizTechMgt was founded in 2001 in Madison Heights, Michigan, by EJ Joier — a designer and developer who got tired of watching small organizations get sold technology that didn't fit their work. A quarter-century later, we're still in Madison Heights, still building for the same kinds of customers, but now leasing a platform instead of building one website at a time.
For most of the company's first two decades, BizTechMgt did what every small web agency does — built custom websites, one client at a time. Churches needed sites. Nonprofits needed donation pages. Small businesses needed somewhere customers could find them. We built thousands of them.
And every year, the same problem returned: the website would launch beautiful, and within twelve months it would be falling apart. The Mailchimp subscription expired. The donation plugin stopped getting updated. The volunteer who was supposed to maintain it left. The pastor's daughter who was "good with computers" graduated and moved away. Most clients were back where they started — except now with a more expensive, more broken version of where they started.
In 2024, EJ and his team made a decision that took the company sideways: stop building one-off websites. Build one platform. Lease it to the same customers we'd always served. Maintain it ourselves. Keep all the moving parts in our hands, so customers could focus on the actual mission.
That platform is what BizTechMgt is today. The same warm, customer-first attention we built into every custom site — but distilled into a leasing model that scales without breaking.
We're still in Madison Heights. Same office, same phone number (248-940-1100, if you're wondering). Same commitment to being the kind of company that picks up when you call. The platform is bigger. The mission is the same.
Twenty-five years in five chapters.
The two people running the work.
Bootstrap-funded means lean. Two principals with deep experience, supported by a small team. No VCs, no growth-at-all-costs pressure — just the right amount of urgency to ship the right thing.
EJ founded BizTechMgt in 2001 and has been the customer-facing voice of the company for twenty-five years. He runs sales, account management, and product direction. If you call us, you'll likely talk to EJ first. The "Move-in ready" and "Pick from our menu" language that runs through everything we make — that's him.
Waqas joined as the Development Manager in 2024 to lead the platform build-out. Eighteen-month roadmap, full-stack ownership, deep experience shipping production SaaS for small-to-mid market customers. Runs the engineering team that makes the platform what it is.
Five operating principles.
Not values posters in a hallway. The actual rules we use when we have to make a hard call.
The same warm hands.
A bigger platform.
Twenty-five years of relationships, distilled into a platform you can move into this week. Same phone number. Same office. Same answer when you call.
