💩 Why it's ugly

This is cleaning after death, trauma, decomposition, and biological material that nobody should touch without training. The work is emotionally heavy, technically strict, and not dinner conversation.

💰 Why it prints money

Few people want the job, fewer can do it correctly, and urgency is high. Insurance-covered jobs, property managers, police referrals, and funeral-adjacent networks can support premium pricing when response time and discretion are excellent.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
