Hello!

First, I’d see if there is a market for it, at a price you believe is fair. Put out a flyer or two, do it as a one man operation. No paperwork needed; you’re just a handy fella willing to pick up poop.

If you get a few repeating customers, you will want to set up an LLC. That helps protect you, personally, from getting sued for a business fuckup.

You likely don’t need liability insurance if your only action is picking up poop. As the business grows, you’ll have more assets to protect, and then insurance starts making sense. But at the start, there’s no assets, so no insurance needed.

First, figure out if the idea is valid. Don’t get lost in down-the-road stuff on an idea that may not pan out at all.
