Further Advances in Finance and Felony:

This update revolutionized the way players earned money in GTA Online. It was the update that introduced the first real business, which required an investment but rewarded the players with some serious cash.

Special cargo Business:

This business involves a player investing in a CEO Office and a warehouse that are found at various spots around the city. they can be purchased from the office computer. They differ in prices depending on the number of crates each can store. A small warehouse can store 16 crates at once, a medium stored 42 crates and a large warehouse stores 111 crates at once.

To start a special Cargo mission, the player must go to his CEO Office computer and use the special cargo option displayed on the screen. After this, he is presented with 3 options, whether to buy 1,2 or 3 crates at a time. The cost of one crate is $2000, the cost of two crates is $8000, and the cost of 3 crates is $16000. Most players buy 3 crates at once even though they are much more expensive as it is more time-effective and in GTA Online, time is money. After this, the player must complete a mission to bring the crates to the warehouse. This can be anything from simply bringing the crate from point A to point B to eliminating a mass horde of enemies from different gangs like Merryweather, Ballas, Vagos and even sometimes, Cops. The player can then sell these crates at a profit which presents him with another mission to deliver the crates in either a truck, boat or plane. The player can increase his profit by selling more crates in a single sale. There is a 3-minute cooldown between sourcing crates

This update further expanded the CEO business by adding the vehicle cargo update. This update also proved to be another effective way to earn some money while also getting the chance to drive supercars which the player may otherwise not own. The debate still floats around regarding which of the two is the better business as both are extremely lucrative:

Vehicle cargo business:

This business too, like the special cargo business, requires the player to buy a vehicle warehouse which can also be purchased from the office computer. To start a vehicle cargo mission, the player must go to the office computer and click on the source vehicle. After this, there is an equally random chance of a Standard level, Mid-level or High-level vehicle spawning. The selling cost and difficulty of the mission increase based on the class of the car. While sourcing the player must pay for any damage to the vehicle. While exporting, the damage cost is deducted from the player’s commission. The player can make a maximum commission of $100000 if he exports a High-level vehicle to the specialist dealer. However, to do this, the player must also invest $20000 to perform the necessary upgrades giving him a maximum profit of $80000. There is a 2-minute cooldown to source another car after a car is sourced and a 20-minute cooldown before selling another.

These are the CEO businesses in GTA Online and are one of the most popular businesses and overall one of the best ways to make money. The only downside to them are they can feel grindy at times but the rewards are worth the grind.
