[Little Songbird]

so I am in counterfeit cash factory, I tried resupply with 75000, but I only got about 40000 in return, is there a reason to profit loss?

no I don't even know if it is worth it

No upgrades: steal supplies.

Upgrades: buy supplies.

And it depends on how you value your time, and if you plan to play in the long run (upgrades will pay off in the long run). And/or if you plan to use it for input to nightclub warehouse.

Always steal and never buy, that way you lose nothing and make profit if people like me don't blow up your cargo.

Wrong.

Once you have the upgrades, you can buy the supplies and use the time saved to do some other more profitable business, e.g. VIP missions, exporting vehicles, helping friends on their MC sales, etc.

Buying supplies only becomes profitable once you have other things going for yourself so that resupplying takes too much time.

For example: right now I own 2 crate warehouses (one small, one medium) as well as a vehicle warehouse. I'm too busy sourcing cars and crates that having to do resupply missions as well is simply a waste of time (and money!) for me.

Right now I just got myself a meth lab (already have cocaine & counterfeit) and even though it doesn't have upgrades yet I'm still buying supplies for it. For the simple reason that I only have to source 1 car to go break-even on that (I can sell 'm for 100k, which makes me 25k profit) and my time is much better spent on sourcing crates, vehicles and doing some CEO missions.

But if you're just starting you're much better off stealing supplies and doing the missions. Sure, it might get tedious but you'll earn RP for doing them (levels you up) and if you kill NPC's you often get dropped money too. Plus you get the maximum amount of profit out of your business.

Also remember that you'll need to do 3-4 supply steal missions for a full supply bar.

And one steal mission essily takes 15 minutes.
Some take even longer (e.g. stealing an APC from a convoy), and in the end you're visible with a huge icon on the map, attracting the wolves.

so is the counterfeit cash factory worth upgrading or should I shut down business and buy a better business?
which upgrade is better if counterfeit cash factory is a decent option? I only have about 600k

Both. It's worth it (hence me also still owning it) but you can do better by upgrading as well as getting another business in addition to this one. Careful though: the cheaper the business, the less income you'll get from it. Personally I'd only get 3 MC businesses max, but it depends on your playing style: counterfeit, coke & meth. Weed can be fun to have but... depends on personal taste. (this has also something to do with the nightclub where you can only assign up to 4 technicians, and I'll take arms over weed ;)).

Considering your questions I'm pretty sure you got the premium online edition, as such also the paleto bay bunker. Whatever you do: don't upgrade that. Instead consider a relocation somewhere more south and easier accessible.

Still, also don't underestimate the income you can generate from owning a crate (and vehicle) warehouse. Even a small one can help: getting a crate for 2k can immediately be sold for 10k, that's not too bad ;)

and this has been the latest episode of "What's up with that?"

upgrade staff and production to maximize your profit, it's a grind if you choose to make money with mc businesses, so you might as well get the best return for your efforts.

OH you peanut grinders
Bogdan is calling "double RP and $ on doomsday heists",
while you still waste your time with cheap mc businesses

someone has to stop cliffford.

Government pays way better.

Coke > meth > cash > weed > docs
