I use a small to moderate amount of enzymes, and I always buy them from NEB. I do not enjoy the thought of purifying my own enzymes. It seems i would spend a lot of time and energy only to end up with a potentially less pure product that would mess up my downstream workflow just to save a few bucks. If the goal for hobbyists is to see if you can make the enzyme and practice protein purification, then I would see value in such a kit. if the goal is to get a reliable product to produce something else, and the rest of the workflow is expensive and time consuming, I wouldn't risk it.
What may be a more workable, and profitable, venture is to set up an NEB freezer program in your area, assuming it needs one and you have potential customers. It would be on the up-and-up with NEB and personally, when I need an enzyme, I'd rather drive down the street and shell out $30 and come home with the product then order it from NEB, pay shipping, and wait.
My two cents.
