💩 Why it's ugly

It is asphalt, slopes, signs, striping, ramps, and conversations about inches. Nobody invites you because the parking lot feels great. They invite you because something is technically wrong.

💰 Why it prints money

Retail centers, restaurants, medical offices, hotels, and landlords need accessibility risk reviews, especially during renovations, property sales, tenant turnover, or complaint response. Inspection-only work has low equipment costs and strong margins. Owners pay to find problems before attorneys, tenants, or inspectors do.

🗺️ 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.
