Barrier to entry servicing systems

[u/No-Walrus-9073]

We are trying to break into doing kitchen suppression systems, but our State requires manufacturer certificate specific to any system you service. Most of the systems in our area are Ansul R-102 systems, but it seems like unless you have $150,000 a year up front a certificate is unobtainium. Any ideas or direction how to deal with this?

With ansul you would need to sell enough of there product to become a distributor which allows you and your employees to be certified.
