💩 Why it's ugly

You are renting small plastic rooms built around a problem everyone creates and nobody wants to discuss. Delivery days are physical, summer weekends are aromatic, and customers only notice you when something is wrong.

💰 Why it prints money

Events need toilets by code, by contract, and by common mercy. Units can rent many times per season, pumping is predictable, and local operators can charge premiums for on-time delivery, clean units, and weekend emergency service.

🗺️ 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.
