    Compare industries

    Choose a small business or company

    For the smallest small-business budget, choose Recharge & Data Kiosk. For a company, Food spot has the lowest base industry setup cost. Compare the cash you need to open with daily takings and the weekly bills you will keep paying.

    Small-business payback uses ordinary economic conditions, base purchase prices, listed running costs and bad-day chances, before income tax and payment rounding. Actual purchase quotes use your player wealth tier.

    Small businesses and companies use different operating plans. A small business has a purchase price, an ordinary-day income range, operating costs and a bad-day loss. A company adds industry, district, branch size, staff, pricing and marketing choices.

    Start with the small-business cards when you want to compare daily settlements with a single purchase. Use the industry cards when you want to manage a company and budget for its team and premises.

    Recharge & Data Kiosk costs ₦150,000. It has ₦2,500–₦5,000 ordinary daily income, ₦1,800 ordinary-day costs and a 10% bad-day chance that instead produces a ₦2,000 loss. Its base expected daily net is ₦1,555, giving an estimated 97 settlement days to recover the purchase price.

    POS Stand costs ₦500,000 and has the same 97-day base payback estimate, with ₦5,175 expected daily net. Choose the kiosk for the smaller opening budget or POS when you can spend more for higher expected daily cash.

    The expected daily net weights the ordinary-day midpoint net by its chance, then subtracts the chance-weighted bad-day loss. A bad day produces the listed loss instead of ordinary income and costs. Small businesses settle from 18:00 on each game day and round ordinary-day net payments to ₦500; the comparison uses the amount before that rounding.

    A high ordinary income range can still come with large running costs and bad losses. Compare expected net and payback together, then leave a cash buffer. Insurance explains business damage cover and cover for economic downturns; Money explains tax on earnings.

    Food spot has a ₦150,000 base setup cost and keeps 35% of sales as operating profit before its weekly bills. Its smallest team is one worker costing ₦16,000 per game week. Salon & barbing costs ₦400,000 to set up, keeps 55% of sales before those bills and pays ₦38,500 per game week for its smallest team. Choose Food spot for the smaller opening and staffing budget, or compare Salon when you can carry the larger bills. You still pay rent, wages and any manager fee from those earnings. Tech uses its own income model.

    Team wages on the cards are weekly. Your company's weekly bill combines premises rent, staff wages and any manager fee. Size and district change those bills; a manager costs three worker wages. Check the quoted bill before increasing your team or premises.

    Registration, branches and resale

    The company registration fee is ₦50,000. You can own up to 3 companies and 4 branches per company. Selling a company returns 60% of the total amount paid into all its branches. Check the sale quote before giving up an established company.

    Kiosk, Shop and Plaza are the company size choices. Bigger premises increase customers, rent and operating capacity. Open each industry card to see its team sizes. Compare the full weekly bill before expanding, and check the district quote because district tiers also change setup and worker costs.

    Advertising and pricing

    Marketing choice Base cost from total paid into all company branches Extra customer flow Duration
    Flyers
    Higher of ₦2,000 or 0.5% of that total
    +20%
    1 operating night
    Radio jingle
    Higher of ₦10,000 or 2% of that total
    +35%
    2 operating nights
    Influencer push
    Higher of ₦50,000 or 5% of that total
    +60%
    3 operating nights

    A campaign covers the company, and its cost uses the total amount paid into every branch. Quotes round to the nearest ₦500. Choose Flyers for the smallest boost and lowest base cost; Radio and Influencer buy larger boosts over more operating nights. Staff and capacity limit how many extra customers you can serve, so extra demand does not produce the same percentage increase in revenue. For Tech, the same boost multiplies its income calculation before the earnings cap. Check your spare capacity and cash before buying a campaign.

    Price choice Customer flow Sale / job price
    Cheap 1.25× base 0.8× base
    Fair 1× base 1× base
    Premium 0.75× base 1.35× base

    Premium requires rating 3. Cheap encourages more customers at a lower price; Fair keeps base flow and price; Premium raises the ticket while reducing flow. Choose your prices alongside capacity and costs, then review your actual takings.

    Food, provisions, fashion and pharmacy are the player-retail categories. Open the official business menus for registration and retail choices, then confirm the quoted Game Naira budget.
