Information

Check for avaliable orders

Before you can work for a business, you need to check if any business even offers orders you can complete.

To do that, head to F5 - Company Information - View Public Business Marketplace and check if there is any businesses listed.
They will display the Business ID, the PPL (PayPerLoad) and the amount of loads they request.
Once you chose which business you want to work for, remember its ID, you will need it to get a GPS Marker aswell as to sign up to work.

How to do it?

Go on duty as trucker or pilot and load up your cargo.
Next, head to the business you want to work for and enter or stand near the business building.
Now, press F5 - Company Information - View Public Business Marketplace press enter on "Select a business to work for". Delete the "Enter ID" text and enter the ID of the business you want to work for.
You're all set! Now you can simply continue doing the freight/fuel/vehicle dropoffs that you loaded up earlier as usual, but now you will get a bonus amount of money that the business owner set with every drop off, until the order of that business is completed.

How to cancel an order?

If you selected an order and you don't want to continue it, head to Company Information - View Public Business Market Place and then "Select a business to work for" and enter the ID 0.

Owning a Business

Information

Requirements

You need to at least own:

Business License (10MIL in the Store)

How to buy a Business

Before you can buy a Business, you will need to buy a Business License from the Store.

First, go to the Business you want to buy and look up its ID in F5 - Company Information - Business For Sale
Once at the Business, go near the Business building and head to F5 - Company Information - Purchase Business and Enter the ID you remembered earlier.
You now own a Business!

How to keep a Business running

You now have a new tab in F5 - Company Information, called "Manage Business". This is the place where you can manage all kinds of things for you business. The first thing you need to do it open your Business!

Head to Company Information - Manage Business - Business Options and select "Set store status open/closed", enter you Business ID and then either "open" or "closed"
Basically to keep your Business running, you need to have stock, either in storage or on the shelfs of your store. If there is no stock on the shelfs you will not make any money.
To keep stock in storage and/or on shelfs you need to either #Put Up Orders or #Restock by Yourself.

Put Up Orders

First, you need to set a payment for your workers!
- Navigate to F5 - Company Information - Manage Business - Business Options, there select "Set Comission", enter your Business ID and then the PPL (Pay Per Load) Money Amount. (This is how much bonus money players get for dropping off one cargo.)
- You need to set the comission BEFORE you Create a marketplace request!!
Now you need to create the order on the marketplace.
- Navigate to Business Options again, then "Create marketplace request", enter you Business ID and then how many deliveries your order should have.
Lastly, you need to decide wether you want to have the listing private, so only you can complete it or if you want to have it public, so everyone and yourself can complete it.
- Navigate to Business Options once again, then Set listing to public/private, enter you Business ID and then either "public" or "private".

Example: You set comission to 10.000$, then you set the marketplace request to 20 and the status to public. For this example, the retail price will be 900$ This means if another player is doing the order for you, you will pay them $218'000 out of your BUSINESS VAULT. (because ($10.000 + $900) * 20 orders)
- You might not be able to pay other players though, so you need to be able to restock it yourself too. #Restock by Yourself
- If you do decide to restock by yourself, you will still need to pay 18.000$ from the business vault. (because $900 * 20 orders)

Now if you set it to public, there will be a new listing in "View Public Business Marketplace" for your business. Other players can then start working for you until the order is completed.

Restock by Yourself

Basically you need to create a marketplace request again, comission doesn't matter if you're making the request private. It does matter if you have it public though!
- Check #Put Up Orders to see how to do this.
You need to pick your cargo up, and then sign up to work for your own Business (#Working for a Business)

Make sure to ALWAYS have some stock in storage! If you don't have any stock your business wont make any money and will go bankrupt!

Hiring Staff

There are some Staff Members you can hire for your business!
- Navigate to Company Information - Manage Business - Hire Staff
- Here you can select which staff you want to buy. The money is taken out of the BUSINESS VAULT, not your own pocket.
