Not in the business myself, but my wife ran a front office and did book keeping for an electric/plumbing team for years.
From the thread it appears you're motivated and a thinker. If the market is there, and one does quality work, it sounds like a no brainer to me.
An issue with the team my wife worked with was a few customers that ordered up and received substantial work/parts/equipment and then mentioned they'd have to figure out a payment plan on the back end. Some inquiries from other service providers can often reveal the habitual elements. More often than one might think, they're often perceived as high rollers in the community.
Good luck,
