First, a USCG-license is required for anyone working commercially as a captain. This means if you are paid to sail a boat as part of a business venture, have passengers who pay you to sail a boat or teach them, you probably will require at least a OUPV or six-pack USCG captain's license.
Charter companies want to have a fair amount of insurance, especially liability, so that if their customers ever cause a huge crash or are injured, they are covered financially.
No idea...
Anyone can start a business...whether you'll succeed is really more up to what kind of person you are, what skills you have, and how willing you are to learn what is needed to run such a business.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
