I'm experience, that doesn't work if you main clients are big corporations. The average corporate drone mistrusts and disregards small companies. Not out of arrogance, I believe, but out of fear: a generalized version of the old "no one was fired for buying IBM" trope. Small companies are seen as higher risk.

The main driver for the ascension of Uber is that everybody hates taxis and taxi drivers. I don't care if it's more expensive or not, I don't want to deal ever again with taxi drivers that are not accountable for their bad service.
