I have been profitable since I started as a CEO. Over the last month, I don't think I've had a day that I didn't show a profit on the Finance page. All of my corps are in countries with taxes 5% or less, and I continue to lose cash as an Enterprise. I've never gained, only lost. It makes not sense to me at all. Could it be that cost of upgrades are draining my corps of more cash than they make up for in form of profits? I would like to know if anyone has an idea.

Could it be the cost of building new corporations?

No, I understand that is going to cost money, I lose money on a day to day basis without building or moving corps. My enterprise actually transfers more cash to corps than it takes in as profit transfer.

How are you managing upgrades? If you are on auto building them, especially both quality and efficiency - you will definitely pay out more than you make in profit.

And do run a diversified enterprise, or do you target specific industries or industrial sectors? What's the market situation for the majority of your corporations? (including factory utilization)?

If you are narrowly focused, a down turn in the markets can leave you out in the cold - until they turn around in the market cycle.

There's the answer to your question.

What you need to figure out is how to make the corps more profitable so they dont regularly need bail outs.
