Business Mechanics Explained

Supply Acquisition: Businesses need supplies to function. Players can steal supplies by traveling to marked locations, using C4 to blow open cargo, and transporting it back (with optional NPC opposition for challenge). Alternatively, pay a fee for automatic delivery after a timed period. Production: Allocate employees to convert supplies into sellable products. More employees = faster production. Research: Assign employees to research instead of production to earn research points used for company upgrades. Sales: Sell accumulated products to city (faster delivery, lower profit) or countryside (longer delivery, higher profit).

Technical Details

• Framework: ESX required (not compatible with QBCore without adaptation)
• Pre-Configured Businesses: 11 iconic GTA locations ready to use
• Configuration: All timers, prices, upgrade costs, NPC difficulty fully customizable
• Performance: Optimized with efficient timers and database queries
• Database: Stores business ownership, upgrade levels, employee allocation, inventory
• Audit System: Optional logging for business transactions and admin oversight

Installation

1. Ensure ESX framework is installed and updated
2. Extract CEO Business Manager to resources folder
3. Import SQL file to create business database tables
4. Configure business locations, prices, and timers in config.lua
5. Set up supply mission locations and NPC difficulty preferences
6. Configure research upgrade tree and costs
7. Add to server.cfg: ensure esx_ceo_business
8. Restart server and test purchasing, supply runs, and sales

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ ESX - Designed specifically for ESX with native integration
• ⚠️ QBCore - Not natively compatible, requires significant adaptation
• ⚠️ QBOX - Would need conversion from ESX structure
• ❌ Standalone - Requires ESX framework for economy and player systems

Configuration Flexibility

The config.lua file provides granular control over every aspect of the business system. Adjust business purchase prices (make Maze Bank expensive, smaller businesses affordable), set supply costs and delivery timers, configure how fast products generate, determine research point accumulation rates, set sale prices for city vs countryside deliveries, enable or disable NPC combat during supply runs, adjust C4 requirements for supply theft, and customize employee salary costs. This flexibility lets you balance the system for your server's economy.

Strategic Gameplay

The employee allocation system creates strategic decisions. Focusing all employees on production maximizes short-term profit but prevents unlocking upgrades. Dedicating staff to research halts income temporarily but unlocks long-term efficiency improvements. Savvy business owners balance both, running production during active play while switching to research when offline. The supply choice adds another layer: steal supplies for free (but risk NPC combat and time investment) or buy supplies for convenience (reducing profit margins but saving time).

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike simple buy building, get passive income systems, this script requires active management and strategic thinking. The GTA Online-style mechanics are familiar to players, reducing learning curve while providing depth. The 11 pre-configured businesses mean instant deployment - no spending hours setting up coordinates and configurations. The research/upgrade system gives long-term progression beyond just accumulating money. NPC combat during supply runs adds optional challenge for players who want active gameplay. It's a complete business economy in one well-coded, optimized package.
