Robberies and Security

To rob someone's business, walk in and type /robbiz. Unlike houses, you can rob a business if the owner is offline. Your success will depend on the business's security level. Some security systems can kill you, so watch out!

If a player is very lucky, the most they can rob on their own is $800,000. If you are in a group, you can rob up to $1,200,000.

To prevent robberies, you can purchase security systems. The higher level security your business has, the less likely a business robbery will succeed, and there is a higher chance of the robber being shot dead by security. Security levels range from 0-5.

• 9mm

Business owners can set the prices of items and services. When other players work for the business, a small percentage of their profits go to the business. Businesses must buy stock to sell items. If the business runs out of stock, they can not sell any items. Stock is cheaper to buy in bulk.

Business Bank

You can store money in your business using the menu. Note that upgrades and other business purchases take the money out of your business account, so you must have money in there in order to purchase anything business-related. You can only store $500,000,000 in the business bank.

Names

You can change the name of your business, using the /biz menu. Business names must be less than 20 characters, and more than 2.

Listing your businesses

To get a list of all of the businesses you own, where they are, and the amount of money in storage, you can type /businesses or /biz.

Business Icon

Business icons are purchasable once you own a business. These icons can be purchased for $200,000,000. The icons have to be at a minimum of 150 feet / 46 metre away from another biz with a purchased icon. These icons benefit the owner because players can now only rob up to $50,000 compared to $800,000 that can be robbed from businesses without an Icon.
