wardrobes start being profitable when you have q 50+ in research. till then you have little profit on them and people tend not to accept q<10 so i suggest get yourself 2 tech RC and try to find a cheap but high research and then start researching it while making money with your main company and transform that cash into raw materials. once you have lets say q48 selll you main business and make a load of joneries from the raw materials you saved. buy wood steel from NPC and go make a load of cash,,, for the begining i sugest buy from nPC because you make more money this way.
Yeah. But retailing makes more profit, but for small companies, producing is good. I make 1.2 billion a day, and it cost me 1.7 billion building all my joineries. I bought 28 joineries 10,000m2, and the rest I built myself.
