Applying for PR via HSP points with sole proprietor side income

Hello Japan Financiers,

I posted a little while ago about changing jobs during a PR application and it seems like that is not a big issue. I have a follow up question and would greatly appreciate any advice, experiences, or expertise on the matter.

I am currently working for a large company as a contract employee and qualify for PR via HSP 80 points. I also have a sole proprietorship (or side income) that is equal to my current company salary (it is also in the scope of my work visa).

Since the PR application takes about a year I was wondering what happens if I quit my company job, or if my contract is not renewed during the PR application? (In this instance I would continue my sole proprietorship.)
I still have 2.5 years left on my work visa.

Is this a big no no? Or is it possible to pull this off after starting the PR application via points with my current company?

Thanks you very much for any and all information!
