So...

What's the business?

Look up the page on Facebook, and go to the "about" section for details

I think it's basically Ghostbusters, but with yotes and such.

So it's a licensed and insured pest elimination company, huh? Interesting.

As a curious question, does a company like this see business in West Virginia? I know it wouldn't take very well out here in the Midwest (Lord knows people try), as so many guys hunt, every farmer/rancher has their own rifle, snares, poison (or a son, nephew, cousin, neighbor kid that calls or traps), and the state is well equipped to deal with depredation problems for free. Side money is one thing, but a full time employment opportunity out here? Forget about it.

My cousin started one up a few years ago that I've helped him out with quite a bit, actually did really well getting clients, but can't charge more than peanuts to get business. Only thing keeping him going is the blog sponsors he lined up for it! It's an interesting economy we're in that the actual service doesn't support the business, but blogging about the execution of the service online pays the bills (advertising opportunity)! People would rather pay to hear him talk about removing problem animals instead of paying him to actually remove animals, how much sense does that make?!?!

Yeah we've actually had alot of people call us about it, and we are getting sponsors and stuff

Well I'll say good luck to you. Get your insurance locked down up front, liability on this type of business is pretty big (been there, done that, got the T-shirt).

What I'd suggest, however, is that you need to figure out what makes you stand out from all of the other guys on youtube, facebook, etc that are calling coyotes and trapping, etc, and figure out how to capitalize on it. I did video editing for "sponsorship pilots" for 4 different young "outdoors shows" the last two years that are offering basically the same production that you're talking about, and there are dozens if not hundreds of others on the web doing the same thing.

Not trying to discourage you, but rather trying to encourage you to raise the bar and develop your production to be something noteworthy. What will make YOUR company and your videoblog/facebook page stand out and earn it's position over any of the other guys with rifles and cameras? Figure out that schtick and run it.

Nomercy is right, definitely get liability insurance. There will always be scavengers and people looking to sue you. Look at the shooting in Conneticut, parents sueing the school for $100 million for not providing the proper security, thats just disgusting. It'll be worth to pay the $100/month than have to pay $100,000 and incur attourney fees on top of that.
