I know debtors cannot operate a "business" in a chapter 7 case, but
as we all know, in many personal service type cases Trustees look
the other way.
Assuming a debtor has adequate insurance, do you see any reason
why a Ch. 7 Trustee would not allow him to continue operating a
self-employed courier business? I have a client whose debt load
will probably not allow him to do a Ch. 13; a Ch. 11 would be too
expensive, and he qualifies for Ch. 7, but he can't lose his only
source of income, which is his courier business (with two existing
clients).

If he is running around town on his own without employees that is more
of a profession than a business. If he has employees and the business
is shut down, then it can be shut down, but he cannot be prevented from
starting up a new business, even in competition to the old.
