Some good points were raised on this thread. However, I want to add that the current rules that are set for individuals to lease a business is ridiciouls. Having 6 people hired is a bit too much, specially that it's driving away a lot of people who might have creative ideas for a business, including me as well. For example, Mouse and I are making a photography studio. The problem here is that only her and I are working on this and we don't need more people.
To add to this, right now, there are only a few nightclubs and a bar that usually open, I believe that they are all faction owned and NOT player owned. During server day time there is NOTHING that is open too!
Again, a lot of good points were mentioned into this thread, and my additions might add an insight to this.
