Schedule 1 Business vs Property Explained
Your many legitimate fronts.
Once you have a steady supply chain established, along with loyal clients, chances are you’ll be making more money than you can count. This is when you can really start considering real estate around the town, which can be divided into two types: businesses and properties.
Knowing the difference between the two is important because they have different uses in Schedule 1. Here is everything you need to know about the purpose of each property and business and how much it costs to buy either type.
Business vs Property in Schedule 1
- Property: Property is a place where you can set up your operations. Each property has a different offloading bay capacity and space for employees. As you grow your empire, you’ll need larger properties to ensure you have enough room to keep up production.
- Business: Unlike properties, you don’t store anything at a business. The entire purpose of buying a business is so that you can launder money beyond your weekly $10K deposit limit. Each business will essentially let you turn your regular cash into credit in a day of processing. There is a computer in the back of the business that lets you initiate the laundering process, which takes 24 in-game hours to complete.
When Should You Buy a Business?
When you reach a point in the game where you are making more than $10,000 a week, that’s when you want to purchase a business. You can launder your cash, convert it into credit, and use it without a problem.
Before that, there really isn’t much benefit because you could simply deposit the cash to the ATM and convert that into credit and use it around the different stores in the town.
