Companies are making big bucks making apps for small business but they are relatively expensive. Write one app that is useful for one business type,you need to focus, and reuse the same over and over again using the original as a template. Charge a one time fee and an on going maintenance fee. So MAYBE, 5000 for the app plus 750 yearly fee. You'll need to define what you will do for the 750 otherwise you will end up working forever on one app modification.

You'll need two abilities, being able to write the app and to sell your app services to businesses.

They just need one ability, the ability to sell the app services to businesses. Everything else will work itself out.

750 per what unit of time? 1 year that’s not enough to even get me to answer the phone.
750 per year for doing mostly nothing. That's what the client pays to access the $5k CRUD app you wrote on a weekend and never update.
