What it does

Customers who shop with a budget get a bigger budget.

Rating

CLow priority

A final 25% of base customer budget at another doubled unlock price. The effect exists, but its poor marginal price makes it a late luxury rather than a sensible default investment.

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 upOnly after cheaper budget gains still leave a demonstrated valuable-stock backlog.

When production falls shortSkip while production or procurement is the limit, however much cash is available.

Recommended time to buy

Late game

Undiscounted unlock price on Mark Up: 10000. Only after ownership and Wild's Endorsement II. Make the final budget increase earn its very high cost from real additional sales rather than buying it to complete the sequence.
