3.2 Company value

Achieving a high company value (CV) is the primary goal of Tycoon Online. It is your company value that determines your C-rank. Your company increases in value when you gain money, expand your business and make investments. 
When Company Value falls below 1, the company goes bankrupt. When a company goes bankrupt, the player can start over immediately with a new company.
Below follows a complete list of events that affect your company value. Remember, that when using some of these methods, the money spent will decrease your expected gain in CV.

==Gaining and losing money==

When constructing any building, your company value increases by 1/10 of the price of the building, but your cv also decreases by 1/20 from spending the money. For an overall cv gain of 1/20 of the cost. For instance, if you build a brewery for 3500 iKr, your company value rises by 175.

Hint: Note that at the same time as you add to your company value when you are expanding your warehouse, constructing new buildings, purchasing new vehicles, etc., you also lose some company value by spending money (see the "Savings" help file). There are some exceptions, though. No company value is lost when investing, purchasing zones, upgrading factories, and donating to Today's TO-player.
