I run a small web design agency, and I have Magento clients. I started offering this kind of service for Magento. Unfortunately, there is not much 'small fixes' in Magento stores. Most issues or corrections take hours to investigate and resolve. I nicely failed, and went back to per hour billing.
Hi HN, I founded ShopManager as a side-project after finding that a lot of my clients were asking for a service similar to this.
Happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!

Cool, a little expensive for me but seems great.
Please provide the visitors with pictures of what you can do, not just many bullet points. I think that would make this site much more easy to digest :)

Thanks! What price range would you expect for this type of service?
Noted for the bullet list, I agree with some images for that part it would be easier to digest.

Obviously you know about wpcurve. They appear to bill 75k-125k monthly (somewhere in that range. I'm estiguessing).
They claim to have ~38 people involved. I can't really get the numbers to work if that's accurate and they are all full-time, but assuming otherwise, I have to imagine that the owner (if Dan is the only one) takes home 25-50k per month or that a similar amount is split if there are two owners. Obviously I'm leaving asset appreciation/salability out of projections.
Reach out to Dan if you haven't and learn as much as you can from him. He basically knows all the problems you will encounter.
It will be a tough road but this business seems like a very safe bet. Good luck.
I think magento would be a great market for this as well.
edit: I just looked at your pricing. With your pricing you don't need to worry at all about profitability. Note that wpcurve has a 3-month minimum. They didn't when they launched. I think this was probably a hard lesson that they had to learn and you should probably adopt the same rule once you are a little established if not immediately. Otherwise people will take advantage.
