Character-Owned Businesses

Characters can own businesses with relative ease in [community profile] genessia! Business owners earn an automatic **** and can request whatever positions they believe they need for their establishment within reason. A moderator may state that a starting business doesn't need 10 security guards if they're a bookshop, for example, whereas a bank might need a more significant number, but for the most part it's up to you. However, the amount of money those positions make is set for the sanity of the moderators, so while you may request positions you cannot choose to pay them more/less outside of the set levels as described on the Money/Pay page.

That said, that's not where it ends unless you want it to. Characters may open multiple branches of their store, multiple types of stores, non-profit organizations, and build up to large businesses if they so wish.

Small Businesses
This is the standard type of business for one or two branch businesses. If your character has one singular store, they will earn ****. This first branch must run for at least three months before a second branch can be added. If your character has two stores, they will need an overall business name (please include when you apply for it or one will be generated for you until you change it.) Anything more than one store will earn ***** income, and you may consider your character sufficiently wealthy so long as they're actually doing their job. Unless your store(s) have extremely limited hours, it will be a lot of work for them to run so please don't assume that they can ICly run off and do whatever they want all the time.

Large Businesses
After another three months, characters may choose to expand into a large business. Any business with more than two branches/stores is considered a large business and must open a headquarters and hire branch managers for each location. Once you've done this, your character is considered a "Large Business CEO" from here on out.

At four or more stores, characters can no longer sustain other jobs without having a Vice President for their company who will take the brunt of the work. However, if they dedicate themselves to their business and don't split their attentions between other jobs, they do not need to hire a VP.

Non-Profit Organizations
Non-profit organizations are charity organizations and are run either on private funds or donations. Most volunteer positions merit * levels of payments or none at all, but if they're passionate about what they're doing and providing a valuable service, the city may fund them anyway to make sure the character can support themselves and afford necessary supplies. If your character accepts, they can choose a payment equal to a similar sort of job on the pay scale page, or less.

Split-Ownership
Some characters like to share ownership of businesses (have two owners) and this is perfectly fine! However, your business is not making double what it would so they cannot have full pay as owners. Because there is more attention paid to the business it can be slightly more successful, so the ownership total income split evenly means *** for each co-owner. If you would like an uneven split, please let a moderator know with your business application.

Publicly-Owned Businesses/The Stock Market
No. Like legit no one has time to run this please do not, go get rich the other way.
