The Boons of Business
No matter what you choose as a The Business, the following benefits are true.
Backroom Hideout: Included in your Business, you have a small apartment on grounds. This may be an office with a cot. This Hideout may receive mail or other communications from affiliated Supporting Characters.
Weekly Income: The Business makes enough to keep itself afloat, pay the Supporting Characters who work there, and any rental or ownership tax fees. Once per week you may make a Profit Withdraw. The total Profit is (v:4 x Raw Potency, x Focal Potency). Every week you do not make a Profit Withdraw Grants 1 Reinvestment Point.
The Clerk: While The Business may be of a kind which includes Stockers, Wait Staff, Cooks, etc. The only Supporting Character guaranteed is The Clerk. It is through your truly trustworthy Clerk you get your weekly income and learn about how well the business is doing. They also tend to know your customer base and may offer special bounties and quests to you and your allies when visiting. The Clerk stands as a gatekeeper from those looking for you.
Note: Time Skips only provide one Weekly Income, regardless of their duration. It is assumed all excess goes to general living expenses and business expenses. This Mechanic functions the same as Faction Provisions.

Life’s Abundant
When we think of ourselves as business owners we are taking on the responsibility to provide for both our consumers and our employed. A harsh reality of procurement, establishing margins, and defining profit sinks in. Keeping it razor thin keeps the ever watching eyes of the Unions at bay.
