Approved with the following notations/modifications:

A pretty good business design for a difficult occupation. You also have a good collection of skills to help make this work which is a plus. The only real modification I see being needed is the NPC slave. You will have to include their upkeep which, considering they are to be aiding in the business, should be at least Poor or better. Poor is .5 gm a day while Common is 1.5 gm a day.

With the upkeep included, your adjusted final income would be either 9 gm/day with a slave kept at Poor or 8 gm/day with a slave kept at Common.

Business Plan Disclaimer: I am approving this business plan and the plan alone. Final approval for the business location is left in the hands of the attending Storyteller and any/all NPCs must still be approved.

Thank you very much for the approval!

Adjustments have been made. I opted for a slave upkeep of 0.5 gm/day, so an income of 9 gm/day.
