This subforum is for small businesses that do not require extensive subforums for organization. These Small Business Sheets are simply posted records of what a business is for, its expenses, its debt and the profit it makes.
A rectangular building made of brick long ago made form the mines, runs adjacent to the edge of the city; the closest building to the Westwatch Tower, There is a wooden sign with metal letters nailed into one of the shops door that simply reads: Dagwood Metal. Lived in, Owned, and Operated by Daedalus Dagwood. Dagwood Metal is his personal workshop dedicated to the practicing of industrial arts, scientific studies, and gadgeteering advancements.
Upon entering the first door on the right, someone would find themselves standing inside of a small shop. Within are several shelves covered in with assorted items all made of various metals for sell. The shop itself is overseen by stores clerk Gwendoline Dagwood. She can often be found sitting behind a counter at the back of the shop with sweet smile on her face, willing and happy to help any costumers.
In contrast to Gwendoline's sweet smile, Darik Dagwood can often be found roaming the building preforming various tasks with a menacing grin on his face. The younger brother of the family run business, Darik is a laborer who has no qualms about doing what needs to be done in order to keep his siblings safe. While he works as a laborer, his combat skills make the shops unofficial security. Most often found at his sisters, Gwendoline's, side.
Should anyone enter one of the two doors to the left, a visitor would find themselves within the foundry of Dagwood Metal. Its filled with the smokey scent of a constantly burning furnace that could be found at the center of the room. The massive hearthfire is where Daedlaus Dagwood could be found crafting metal. Chains and pulleys dangle from the ceiling that he uses to lift alloy and ingredients up to dump into the top of the furnace.

Info: Sweet as sugar and kind as quite as a butterfly, Gwendoline is the last person someone would expect to be a blacksmith. In fact, on listening to her, most people doubt she's ever lifted a hammer in her life. That is until people see her at the forge in the midst of slamming a hammer. While she is too modest to admit it, she enjoys hitting things and when she isn't in the helping the owner, who happens to be her brother Daedalus, with a project; she's constantly found running Dagwood Metal's shop as its Clerk.

Name: Darik Dagwood Age: 23 Gender: Male Relation: Brother Skills:
Info: Growing up, Darik distanced himself much to his families dismay. It wasn't long before Darik found himself understanding that blacksmithing or crafting wasn't for him. Time and time again he tried to find something he could do, and with every failure his resentment for crafting grew. His frustration at being bested over and over by his siblings darkened his heart to the arts which pushed him to new lengths of violence.
He found his way with a weapon and decided if he couldn't build, he could protect. Becoming a fighter in his own right who would often fight his siblings battles for them while growing up when they ran into trouble. He now works as a laborer at Dagwood Metal doing odd jobs for the business.

Approved with the following notations/modifications:
Looks pretty solid! Well done! You can also add a sales bonus of 2 gm/day (20%) to your final income for being an owner/operator of your business. Total then would be 8 gm/day. Enjoy!
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.
WIth Sunberth up and running again, I'm wodering if you can look over my business plan again to double check it.
I did catch one mistake I made in the past when I first made the business plan.
The mistake was that I was treating NPC's like Player characters. I don't need to cut my own pay to pay the NPC's "full wages", I just need to pay the price for their living expenses.
So in fact I'd get the full 12 gm/day and then pay the common prices of living for the npcs.
