Most constructs cannot sell things and need direction so your poppets could be considered similar to todays hand trucks, forklifts, etc, like warehouse tools to help the company run smoother.  Ading them to your business doesn't affect the profits at all though they can affect any business related events.<br/><br/>You can invest more money to increase profits, 1,000 gold for every additional +1, or you could expand.  Expanding is similar to purchasing a new business except each profit modifier costs a lot more, so the 18,000 currently invested for a +18 would only pay for a +3 large business (15,000 gold at 5,000 gold per +1 profit modifier.  The extra 3,000 gold would offset any losses the first month).<br/>Think of it like a gamestop or other specialty store buying and moving into a walmart supercenter building, at least that's how I'm imagining it.<br/><br/>Opening a new location is simply purchasing a second business, choose the size, invest seed money, then roll for profits after the first month.<br/><br/>Also copied and updated the consolidated post from the recruit thread.  I may have missed something that came up since then but it should have almost everything.
