am i approved to start bussines?

OK, for starters the company you bought at auction was never approved. The Iguanaman Dealership was the original company. It was a private manufacturer-reseller. The application post is here and the price manager's approval is in the post after the application. The asset value of the dealership is 3000g. I would say that you are now the owner of the Iguanaman Dealership but the Fanatikan Transportation Partnership was never legal.

If you would like to convert the Iguanaman Dealership to this new business then here is the start-up cost (assuming it is a personal, i.e. one owner business with no partners or shares):

The average price on the list is just under 2000g making the expense factor X6. The base is 2000g since this is a manufacturer/reseller. The multiplier for personal business is X1:

2000g X6 X1 = 12,000g
Subtracting the original asset value of 3000g leaves a start-up cost of 9000g.

BTW, a partnership would cost 24,000g - 3000g or 21,000g. A public company (with shares) would cost 36,000g - 3000g or 33,000g.

If you want to reduce these start-up costs then lower your price list average.

I don't think you can use your freebie on a business that was started by someone else...

The Iguanaman Dealership was registered. Then Great Iguanaman tried partnering with another business I think to make the Fanatikan Transportation Partnership. I recall exchanging a few pms about this very issue. Was that with you? Perhaps you can claim the other business as well from your auction purchase. Guess I'll have to research this again to see who owned the ship building business that GI tried merging with.

ahhhhh. why cant i just have the bussiness i bought at auction

FRLA restructuring:

We would like to change the way the FRLA earns its income. We would also like to phase out the purse fund. Here are our proposed changes:

Variable entry fees (up to a maximum of 7500g) will be collected in each race and will be distributed as follows:

50% to the owner of the horse that finishes first
20% to the owner of the horse that finishes second
10% to the owner of the horse that finishes third
5% to the owner of the horse that finishes fourth
15% to the FRLA

We will continue to accept wagers on the races. The maximum wager accepted will be 7500g. 15% of the wagers will go to the FRLA and the remaining 85% will be returned to the winning bettors.

We will continue to charge registration fees for registering race horses: 100g for thouroughbreds and 50g for hunters and light warhorses. These fees will now go directly to the FRLA.

Our new price this thus becomes:

Registration fee (TB): 100g
Registration fee (LW): 50g
Registration fee (HU): 50g
Maximum wager: 7500g (1125g ro FRLA)
Maximum entry fee: 7500g (1125g to FRLA)

Avg. price is 490g which is within the range of the original FRLA set-up.

The original start-up is here.

The FRLA will continue to have a CEO who will be paid 20% of the FRLA earnings. This gold will come from the COGS/taxes.

Because the business you bought was never approved for business! I suggest you hold off on this until the new price manager takes over as he may be able to find a solution that I'm missing.

The restructuring of the FRLA is approved.

[Shaitan]

You don't have to do it all in one shot, Strider. It's a big job, take some time. We've been without a registry for 3 months so another couple days won't kill anybody.

Actually I'm thinking I can get a rough draft copy done by tonight. Then I'm going through and going to improve and and add an Active column telling wether the business is closed or open etc.

 

[Strider]

Ok... Done with the rough draft alot sooner then I thought. If you will check it over for me and point out any changes or anything that needs to be added I'll get to work on it again. Your going to have to un-zip it, but it should load up in excel afterwards.

Shaitan may have to double check my figures but I think it would cost 2000g to turn S&E into a public company. That's 6000g - 4000g (the start-up for the partnership.)

According to this post by are old Price Manager. To make S&E inc. and public company it would cost 2000g. If this is right then I want you to bill me half and ehecatl half to pay for this. Thanks.

The file looks great Strider. One change - figure the physical startup costs for the 1st time businesses as well. That way we'll have this available for computing upgrade costs.
