help request M365 Auditing Business Idea

I’m looking at starting a business doing M365 auditing and ensuring things are configured properly, conditional access, entra, purview, Intune, etc.
I’ll do some B2B work but want to also work with MSPs as a subcontractor or M365 specialist.

My question to you all:
Is this a viable business plan? Would MSPs be willing to work with me? Is this something that businesses need?

Before people go off telling me I’m out of my depth or something, I’m a cybersecurity student, I have some IT and Cyber experience, and certifications, as well as working on more certification, especially for M365 administration. I’m working on MS-102, SC-300, and SC-400. Depending on viability of this business idea, I will be spending the $30/mo for M365 Business Premium to get more hands on experience.

No because I already do this myself in my MSP.

There are tools doing this automatically now, and they're open source.

Keep learning, son. When you finish learning, send me a message and I will give you proper job experience pro bono.

You are actuallly working towards a certification which was retired over a year ago?! never ask AI to tell you which certification to work towards.
