 ===== Overview =====
-A business is just a collection of building that you purchase to produce an income for you, personally. The basic Capitalist set up - you pay to set the business up, and reap a regular reward in return for your investment.  However, there is a catch.  Here is always someone who owns the land you want to build on (normally a person building a strong hold) and you need to get their permission before you can build.   You should be prepared to pay twice as much as the listed BP costs to get permission – sometimes you will get it cheaper  (or be able to offer up ‘excess’ value from the BP you are spending) - other times it will be more expensive.

-As you build a business empire you will find that there are economies of size – the larger your business empire the higher your return.
-**Bonus 1:**  For those of you who own a business capable of creating items.  Any workshop will have masterwork tools in it, and you will have staff who are skilled in using those tools - Therefore you may take a +4 Skill Roll Bonus when you make something during the down time associated with a Kingdom Turn. ++Note| This includes mundane items, Masterwork Items, Scroll, Potions and Magical Items - BUT you must have the appropriate 'workshop' and ability within your business.++

 __Acts of DM:__ Sometimes Kingdom Event Rolls, or other similar things, will affect income. Particularly good weather might mean that trade is boosted across the land, while a flood or famine might mean extra costs for everyone. It might just be one area, or it might be the whole region …

 **Phase 2 - Costs**

-  * However you will find that Stronghold Owners will ask you to make extra Donations (of BP) to the town when you want to develop new parts of your business.  This is because they have to keep Economy, Loyalty and Stability in balance as they manage the Stronghold.  Business or organisational developments (such as Academic developments) that contribute something to the town (Loyalty, Stability) will likely attract fewer 'donation' requests.  Others (such as Religious developments)  will be sought after because they don't add any economy at all.  Merchants will probably be asked for the biggest donations and asked most frequently.  After all, Stronghold owners don't get a share of any of the income you make from Boats, Ships, Caravans or Mule Trains, and they know that :)
