How to CEO

So I tried dabbling with being a CEO, but I can't seem to breakeven since I've had it, and I've had to transfer money to it. I attributed it earlier to the rapid expansion I was doing, but yet a lot of the corps I still have haven't made a profit. I changed salary levels to 300, and I also noticed that my Asset Management simply can't get supplies so I turned it's hiring down to 10% till I can buy shuttles. Any advice?

CEOs take some time to profit because the corps will only start making profits after they get close to max upgrade level. It takes a few weeks for a corp to max upgrade.

Here is what I would recommend for you:
Salaries 400 (only to ensure 100% hiring for your corps)
Sell/Buy Strategy Best
Supply Quality 215

Build a diverse group of corporations from various sectors and build in C3 countries. They generally have high unemployment, decent welfare index, and they auto approve your requests so you can get corps in there quickly. I would also recommend using the build 3 corporations per month boosters, that way you can get more corps in quicker. Just keep your corporation build queue maxed out and over time your profits will start coming in. It will take a few real life weeks so you will need to transfer money in for the beginning.

Enterprises end up very profitable.
They also can produce everything with no regards to game levels.
