Where it starts
One economy
Undeclared income will never be a second wallet or a crime currency in FOUNDER. It is ordinary money in the one ledger, carrying where it came from — and a front business is an ordinary company in your group.
Own and run legitimate businesses — restaurants, bars, clubs and more
Start or buy companies across the game's industries, and run each one: strategy, prices, marketing and staff.
In the gameA ledger for every company
Every company keeps its own ledger in game money — prices, wages, rent, stock and marketing.
In the game
Build a criminal empire
Multiple paths. One network.
From black-market trade to shipments, from shell companies to front businesses: the paths the underground economy is planned to open. Combine them, manage the risk and stay one step ahead.
Front businesses
An ordinary company in your group that covers for something else.
PlannedShell companies
Companies that mostly exist on paper — ordinary group companies, in the same ledger.
PlannedCash-flow routing from dirty to clean
Laundering as a game action: a move in the ledger that turns undeclared money into declared money, at a price and a risk.
PlannedBlack market trading
Restricted goods with prices, demand and risk that move.
PlannedWarehouse operations
Store goods, manage stock and move it through the city.
PlannedBribery and insider contacts
Officials, workers and contacts on the inside, met as choices.
PlannedContraband shipments
Shipments by land and sea, with cargo that can be stopped.

Tactical choices: pay, negotiate or decline
A useful connection
A port official can make sure your next shipment passes without inspection. The price: a share, and a longer arrangement.

More of the darker path
Every darker action in FOUNDER is a game choice with a price, a risk and a consequence — never a real-world method. Money in FOUNDER is game money only.
