Say you have company 1 that cost 1000g to startup and company 2 that cost 1500g to startup. These two companies want to join up in a partnership. We figure what an original startup for the combined company (partnership) would have been 3000g. You need to pay 3000g minus the amount of the original companies(2500g in this example). So, in our little case study here the two companies could form a joint partnership for 500g.

Amt you pay = Startup cost for partnership - (startup for private business 1 + startup for private business 2)

Regarding free first businesses: Even though you didn't actually pay startup expenses you still get credit as if you did when you are figuring the cost to upgrade or alter your business.

would this answer your question or do you need more detail?

Detail.... otherwise I would not have asked

 

[VHS]

you need to pay 500g (form partnership) + startup fees for both companies. I sent you a PM with a comment.

startup fees are all payed for prior to the merger, $500 (s50 a piece) is correct. Merger approved.

Ok.... and the price list.... Is that approved? Also here is some data on our new company

Dude, get my paper approved, your friend Shaitan didn't want to help me, plus his response made no sense .

It would be in the best interest of the RPG, that i decline your request to register your paper as a business. This could be potentially harmful to our corporations, my associates or myself.

 

[Shaitan]

Strider, Ehcatl and VHS - The numbers for the partnership are wrong. Ehcatl's startup was 2000g. Strider's startup would have been 2000g as well. The partnership startup works out to be 4000g so there is no additional money due.

 

[VHS]

how do you get this, they've both already payed startup.

 

[Shaitan]

VHS - The cost of upgrade is:

C = N - (O1 + O2)

Where C is the cost of the upgrade, N is the new business startup cost and O1, O2 are the startup cost for old businesses 1 and 2 (and 3, 4, 5 etc if there are more).

These were first businesses so there was no actual money paid but that doesn't matter because they get credit as if they did pay the startup funds. Both businesses had startup costs of 2000g. (That's a total of 4000g "credit".) The new combined business just happens to have generated a 4000g startup cost. So...

C = 4000 - (2000 + 2000)
C = 4000 - 4000
C = 0

Cost of the upgrade is 0 gold.

Ok, but I've got a Q.....

Can I start up my business yet!

 

[Shaitan]

Yup, you already got approval from VHS. I just wanted to correct the price error so you didn't get charged when you didn't actually have money due.

 

[VHS]

okay, but i haven't posted the startup in the bank. I approve the business, it's legit, but theres a change in fee
