Shops and Businesses

Shops in Alshira are required to follow the Alshiran currency system
(namely the Shiran); barter is an acceptable trade medium if necessary.

To run a shop, you do the following:

1) Get an area for your shop
(having land and airspace is a good thing. Get a deed from Herb.)

2) Build your shop
(the price of this in Shirans is determined by a good measure of common sense
by talking with Aus or Laura about it - however, you must have the Shirans
to spend, or get a business loan from the KIB.)

3) Make your items
(itemcrafting is discussed in more detail in the Skills and Training section.)

4) For items that have a quality rating,
they must be inspected by the quality assurance inspector
(translation: you do your skill roll there in front of Sam,
the shop inspector, and this determines how well your item came out.)

5) If your item isn't as good as you hoped,
you may have the option to continue working on it
(go back to work, come back to roll again when the OH is better-mooded)
or to create a new item.

6) Sell your items
Ideally, advertising, and clerks to handle your store, should be implemented;
otherwise there may be nobody who knows you exist.
Paying your employees is your problem - bear in mind that your employees
may get annoyed and try to put you out of their misery if you
force them to work for pittances.

For other types of businesses (taverns, nightclubs, daycares, whatever) contact
Aus and Laura to discuss the specifics. Any type of business considered.
