    I have done a little bit of reading on them and talked to my local fire marshal about them.
    They're not as expensive as I thought they would be and seem to be fairly simple, I will be installing a few in my reloading room that is attached to the shop.

    they are a straightforward installation.

    for a person w plumbing experience, like me - it opens doors in the business world.

    I want to start a company. But I feel like i hit a wall on my path to it.

    Wonder what the insurance would be like. I'm sure there is a market for it, you just have to get the word out.

    True, I can get the local plumbing companies to do the advertising and installation.

    I just do the design and approvals.

    Are you NFPA certified? You need to be-and not just the basics. You'll need to be sprinkler certified.
    Do you understand the different types of sprinkler heads?

    Good luck dude!

    I started a small company a few years back, wrapped my tailgate got cards. Well fuck the tailgate generated a little business but the rest was word of mouth. I still get people that call and said I talked to Mr nuttbutt and he said you do this can you come look at what I have
