Tarboro Life
Businesses & Orgs
Owning a business means putting up the capital and running the books — not clocking in yourself. Buy a commercial property, register what it is, and it starts generating its own economy: staff, payroll, and a shared fund that's genuinely yours to manage.
Currently Registered
Player-owned businesses, pulled directly from the live server — not a mockup.

Nine Types, One Registration Flow
Buying the property and declaring what it is are two separate steps. Picking Illegal opens two more menus instead of one.
- Legal (7 types) — Automotive, Hair/Nail, Clothes, Dispensary, Pawn, Diner, Coffee.
- Mining / Resource Supply — its own type, not a legal/illegal subcategory. See below.
- Illegal — picking this opens a second menu (what it actually is: drug trafficking, chop shop, gun running, money laundering, or fencing) and a third (what it's fronted as, reusing the 7 legal types) — a laundromat that's really moving stolen cars, not a flat 9th option.
Running It
Biz Manager
The phone app for owners — dashboard, staff roster, hire/fire, set grades and wages, and review applicants who applied through LinkedUp.
Society Funds
Every business has its own shared bank. Deposit, withdraw, and payroll pays staff automatically on a real timer — as long as the fund can actually cover it.
NPC Storefronts
Not player-owned — these are fixed vendor stations that already exist in the world regardless of anyone's economy, the shops you go to before you have a business of your own.
YouTool Hardware
Textile City (downtown LS) and Grand Senora Desert. Tools, gathering and fabrication gear.
Salvage Dealer
Sandy Shores industrial strip. Gun parts, scrap, precursor chemicals, hacking gear, theft tools.
Pharmacy
Pillbox Hill and Sandy Shores. Bandages, splints, oxy, first aid kits.

On the Stock Market
Eight parody companies, publicly traded and player-tradeable through the phone's Stocks app. Prices drift on their own and get real nudges from gameplay — this is fictional in-world capital, not a business anyone owns directly.
