Narrative:

Started #2 engine to taxi. When increasing power to taxi, the FBO manager ran out of the building and across the ramp toward the rear of our aircraft. I remembered he had pulled a low wing single out of the hangar and parked it approximately 75 ft behind our aircraft about 45 mins prior to our departure. Unable to see what was going on behind us, I brought the power back to idle for approximately 1 min to give him a chance to move the aircraft. I then brought the power back up and taxied for departure. Upon arriving back at base, I found the FBO manager had called wanting to talk to the chief pilot. I returned his call to apologize and see if there was any damage. The FBO manager was very irate, accusing me of doing our 'runup' on the ramp, and that he was going to 'turn this matter over to the FAA.' he reported no damage to the single engine aircraft.
