Business Register

Config.Business = {
    fee          = 5000,   -- taken from Config.MoneyAccount, 0 = free
    maxPerPlayer = 3,      -- active businesses per player
    categories   = { 'Retail', 'Food & Drink', 'Automotive', 'Services',
                     'Entertainment', 'Real Estate', 'Transport', 'Other' },
}

• The server validates names (3–40 characters, unique), categories and phone numbers.
• Owners can edit or close their businesses. Closing doesn’t refund the fee.
• With the Government Portal, new registrations can require approval first.
• The table aps_businesses is created automatically.

​

Permits

Config.Business.permits = {
    alcohol = {
        label            = 'Alcohol License',
        description      = 'Sell and serve alcoholic drinks.',
        categories       = { 'Food & Drink', 'Retail', 'Entertainment' },   -- nil = every category
        review           = true,          -- the Government Portal must approve (also renewals)
        requiresLicenses = nil,           -- e.g. { 'car' } — City Hall licenses the owner needs
        options = {
            { label = '30 Days', days = 30,  price = 5000 },
            { label = '1 Year',  days = 365, price = 45000 },
        },
    },
    transport = { label = 'Transport License', categories = { 'Transport' }, review = true,
                  requiresLicenses = { 'car' }, options = { … } },
}

• review = false grants the permit as soon as it’s paid. With review = true the application waits in the portal under Permit applications; a rejection refunds by Config.Government.businesses.refundOnReject. Without the Government module every permit is granted on payment.
• Renewing while the permit is still valid adds the days on top of the current expiry.
• Staff with businesses.manage can revoke a permit. Closing a business ends all of its permits.

​

Business vehicles

Config.Business.vehicles = {
    enabled        = true,
    fee            = 500,     -- per vehicle
    maxPerBusiness = 10,
    setJobColumn   = true,    -- also write the business's linked job into the vehicle
    jobColumn      = 'job',   -- column in owned_vehicles (exists on ESX)
}

• The owner registers vehicles they own. They stay in the owner’s garage tables and show as business vehicles in the Vehicle Registry and the portal.
• When the government links the business to a job (portal → Open record → Job link, e.g. taxi), registered vehicles get that job in owned_vehicles.job, so job garages see them. Removing the vehicle, unlinking the job or closing the business clears it again.
• QBCore’s player_vehicles has no job column by default; the console says so and the link is skipped.
• Vehicles the owner sells or deletes drop out of the business automatically.

​

Employees & certificate

Config.Business.employees   = { enabled = true, maxPerBusiness = 15, maxDistance = 10.0 }
Config.Business.certificate = { enabled = true, item = 'business_certificate', price = 100 }

• The owner adds employees by their player ID — the player must stand within maxDistance — and can remove them. Employees count for playerHasPermit and isBusinessEmployee.
• The certificate is an inventory item with the business name, owner, category and valid permits (ox_inventory metadata). Add the item to your inventory first.
