Another +25%, at 200 credits per 1%.

After the buyout

What it does

Customers who shop with a budget get a bigger budget.

Rating

CLow priority

Another 25% of base customer budget costs twice the first endorsement's unlock. The much larger capital cost needs an established post-ownership retail bottleneck, not merely unused cash.

A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.

When stock is piling upConsider only if the preceding budget upgrades still leave valuable accepted stock unaffordable.

When production falls shortDefer while goods are scarce or sell through; the investment does not improve output.

Undiscounted unlock price on Mark Up: 5000. Only after ownership and Wild's Endorsement I. Compare the cost with the actual additional stock that buyers can now afford, and allow enough continuing sales.
