Death and Taxes
Chapter 1 - Building a Legacy

Image

Introduction

The business is the purest form of any organization on Earth. Not pure physically, because corruption and greed are quick to sully the names of great companies. No, the deal is what is pure. One entity, exchanging a product, goods, or services in exchange for money. That, is pure. Many businesses are quick to forget this, caring about the environment, or their shareholders. No, companies should exist for one purpose and one purpose only. Profit.

Summary

Welcome to Death and Taxes, the two things Benjamin Franklin guaranteed in life. In this RP, players will be given a starting budget, and expected to grow that budget into a large corporation, spanning the globe with deep pockets and deep political influences. This is a barebones RP. I'll let players act as many forms of corporations, a wide variety listed below. Players are expected to keep their records and ledgers intact, and to reap the profits of their business. The IC will allow players to show off their lavish lifestyles, or otherwise discuss mergers, loans, or conducting business with other companies. That's it. Simple, sleek, and with a lot of potential for corporate growth. So go forth, and enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Gameplay

If a player wants to expand their company, they can make said actions in the IC. For example, a CEO visiting a factory opening. Stating said factory is opening in 6 quarters, for a building cost of $X,XXX. The OP will then add a quarterly revenue value, as well as upkeep for the facility. In addition to this, players can sell said assets, for hard cash reserves. Other than that, every quarter players receive their revenue, and must appropriately adjust their factbook and ledger to fit this.

I remember there was something like this ages back... did you OP that, Arc?

Anyway, no manufacturing or stuff like that? What category does arms produces or food processing go under?

Name of Company: Zimmerman Retail (brand name Zimmermann's)
Type of Corporation: Retail
Executives: Alexander Nataja Zimmermann
History: A small startup, this shop markets all sorts of odds and ends, from clothes pegs to buckets to shoes to pens. Alexander Z. founded the shop with inheritance money, and with his good business sense, looks to extend this broad-ranging shop to something much bigger. Very little history; it's new.
Starting Revenue: $750,000? :3

Name of Company: Avenue Finance LLC
Type of Corporation: Finance
Executives: Matthew Wells Scotsman, age 31
History: Avenue is the brainchild of Matthew W. Scotsman, who came up with the principle during his years studying Maths and Economics in university. After receiving his Masters diploma, Scotsman landed a job as a Senior Accountant in a sizable firm. Gaining six years of experience from that, Scotsman loaned a large amount of money from a bank under a corporate loan to begin his business venture. He has since repayed the debts.

Avenue Finance is entirely a small-scale investment firm. Avenue employs 8 investors, 2 managers and 1 CEO. Investors are given a sum of money and are expected to turn this into an even larger sum by the end of each month. Investors buy and sell extremely volatile shares using a software provided by, hopefully, a tech firm in this RP. The CEO sets a quota for these investors' profits, and managers are expected to make sure that the investors are in check with said quotas.

Avenue heavily relies on markets, and investors spend their days on their computer checking graphs in livetime. The software they use also includes a special algorithm used to ensure and ascertain investors on their decisions, almost assuring larger profit margins. With a steady stream of surplus revenue, Avenue dreams to amass enough financial clout to have a larger sway in international markets.
Starting Revenue: $750,000 -- these are tiny numbers: for a firm of 11 people I need more that $0.75m revenue.
