I suggest you stick to IPv4 and NAT. And no I don't mean that sarcastic.

If you want to sell 'single-user' products then count their
bandwidth usage. Or are you getting your IP's from your transit provider?
Transit providers charge you for bandwidth consumption.
So should you. If you have no intention of selling them internet access
then why call yourself an ISP at all ?

"single-user products" as you call it are the biggest reasons why
we have those awfull NAT's today. And how many users are behind
that NAT even though you just gave them 1 IPv4 address? LOTS.

I suggest you stay away from IPv6 as you don't have any intention
of using it for the biggest reason: End to End connectivity.

Greets,
