New: Market Highlights with world sales rankings, revenue trends, top CEOs and logistics hotspots, plus a refreshed Economy Dashboard. Rule global markets.
StartUp Business
Build your empire from zero, no waiting, no auto-play. Every decision, every trade, every hire is yours.
Step into the role of a modern CEO and create the company you've always envisioned. Hire the right people, run factories, manage logistics, and compete on global markets as your business evolves in a living economy shaped by real supply, demand, and strategy.
Build factories
Place factories anywhere on the world map and industrialize production. Choose locations strategically to cut costs and speed up delivery by staying close to resources and major markets.
Ship globally
Sign shipping contracts and move goods across continents. Connect factories, warehouses, and points of sale into a logistics network that keeps products flowing when competitors try to disrupt your supply chain.
Build your team
Hire employees with distinct skills, personalities, salaries, and moods. Assemble teams, appoint leaders, and manage productivity to unlock bonuses and support long-term growth.
Relocate your HQ
Move your headquarters to any city worldwide. Your location affects operating costs, access to opportunities, and how your brand shows up on the global stage.
Expand your empire
Upgrade your headquarters, rent warehouses, and manage space efficiently as you grow. Scale across multiple product lines and industries without losing control of performance.
Produce and sell
Turn raw materials into finished products and sell on a live global market. Prices shift in real time based on supply, demand, and player activity — every production decision can pay off or create risk.
Trade with players worldwide
Buy and sell resources directly with other players in a true multiplayer economy. Shortages, overproduction, and sudden demand can reshape markets and open new opportunities overnight.
Go public
List your company on the stock market and let others invest in your success. Manage reputation, growth expectations, and shareholder value as a public company.
Get AI-powered guidance
Unlock Board AI advisors for economy, wallet, warehouse, and supply chain decisions — built for players who want data-driven strategy, not guesswork.

Tried to start when the app had a bug where it couldn’t pass the name your company screen and I can honestly say after attempting twice once without the tutorial and once with the tutorial that this is one of the most realistic business sims on the App Store and I enjoy it.

Thank you very much for the review!
Awesome support

Changed my rating from a 2 to a 5. Since the specialization update, I took a few days off from it and thought about business in general. Came back and tried a few theories and company is blasting off. The support/ dev person takes real time feedback and applies it or informs you of the idea behind the next update in advance, so your concerns and feedback is heard and often applied right away. Have not seen that in any other game I play.

Nice Dev

I’ve been making my way in this game so far and I’ve kinda almost fluctuated the market by my self but besides that this games very fun :) I do think you might need the cheap subscription to play normally but it’s fine for me. I hope more people end up trying it as the dev is updating it constantly with new features and fixes.
