I know of a handyman company that started out with the person that runs it being shown how to invoice and get proper insurance.One can impact the physical neighborhood in a positive way.There is also the chance to make environmental impact with water saving devices, lower wattage bulbs, maybe even solar panels or charging stations for electrical vehicles.
