Things to make player run businesses easier

See as I am starting my first real business in Glitch this test, I've started to think of things that would make it easier and more appealing:

Registering Your Business
Being able to go to City Hall and getting a business license. Say you need Bureaucratic Arts III. You can register the name, description and potentially the associated group. Being able to make a group a business would be awesome especially once we get group halls.

Separate Mailing Address & "Bank" Accounts
So that in game correspondance and funds easier to track.

Setting Up Members/Employees and What Their Access Is
Much like setting powers in a group. Who can access the mail account, funds, etc..

I am sure more ideas will come to me once I start doing it hands on.

  • Maybe you could rent a store.

  • Or maybe they could make a New York-inspired region with plenty of office buildings!

  • It might be nice to have a job listing too, if we're going that far.

  • In Star Wars Galaxies, IIRC, you could build skills in some kind of business tree and then make salespeople appear, like a wookie or human, or other race, and then give them something to say (like the gnomes do now) and then when people clicked on this salesperson (who was in your house, or somewhere on your property) s/he would say his or her pitch, then a screen would appear with the items that were for sale. And the more skills you had, the more salespeople you could have. I remember having like 4 or 5 salespeople I think? I was a droid engineer and sold speeders and all kinds of robots, but it was awhile ago so I don't remember exactly everything about it.
