Contract inspection?

Hey guys, lately I've been mulling over the idea of buying a used CMM and doing contract inspection on the side. I'm still a little green under the gills (only been programming about two years) so its a fairly tentative plan with no time frame yet, but just as an idea I figured I'd look into it a bit more. Anyone on here have any sort of experience doing this sort of thing? Obviously I'd get whatever certifications I'd need as well (ISO, etc.) but I'm trying to think of any unforeseen issues that might arise or how well I could find customers. Any thoughts? Thanks!
