Is it me, or does it seem that it is harder to have profitable corporations while a CEO than a president? My enterprise cannot turn a profit to save it's life no matter what I do. Thoughts?

It's not just you.

The key really is to make sure you give yourself a safe baseline for revenues, to keep you out of the red. This can be done in multiple ways I'll cover them soon. But first I'd like to point out that debt because of incredibly low interest rates are not so detrimental in playing the CEO.

So as I said safe bets.
1. If you get yourself in reliable countries that is always a plus. 120+ Welfare is what to shoot for. If you want to stay lean and control your enterprise with a fine comb you can ignore rapid building debt increasing endeavors.

2. C3's are always profitable in you know how to work them, incredibly low salaries, and the ability to take over a C3 to move them if a bad president takes over, and you can also use to pass on cheap supplies to corps with high material costs.

3. Cheap Corps is a good route. You can spend 60B to start a new corp, or you can buy a fully upgr

Oh yeah one more thing, when referencing corporation profitibility. 0% taxes isn't going to help if your corp can't make a profit.

90% taxes at 100M>0% at -.01M

Thats an impossible situation, because taxes don't go that high but taxes can only take away from the money you make, while losses can always harm you. Think of this when building or moving corps.

Your Welcome, good luck
