Having burned through $5M in the early 00's at a startup doing exactly this, I think you're in for a tough ride. Environmental agencies hardly ever actually enforce the regulations on small businesses that would purchase your product. In our case, we found that the only way you could actually get the EPA interested in auditing your facility was if you used our software to file your paperwork. The Agency was interested in finding out how accurate our software was, so the end result was that our customers got picked on. Meanwhile, businesses that simply ignored the regulations or sent back the paperwork incomplete were let slide. In short, I'd check to make sure that you are solving a real problem with real consequences. In my experience, Environmental for the Small Business doesn't have any enforcement, and is thus not a real problem for which people will pay money.
