The cost per hour just to support the machine and an operator is much better absorbed in an established shop. Considering the primary burden of the overhead in an empty facility, I'd question it being a single cost center as the only source of income. Most jets I have seen installed are support for an in-house product line or secondary service offered in a full service shop.
I'm not discouraging your plan. Sure, you can buy one and provide the service. Getting a single jet to pay both your keep, might not be so easy. You still need to find the work, quote it and keep it running to maintain 200hrs per month nozzle time.
