GTA 6 Businesses: How to Judge What Is Worth Buying

A framework for evaluating any GTA business, so you can rank them yourself the day the game ships instead of waiting for a list.

Marek Vos
Published 1 min read

Every business in a Grand Theft Auto game is the same trade: capital up front, income over time, attention required in between. The third term is the one people forget.

The four questions

  1. What is the buy in, including the upgrades it needs to function? The sticker price is never the real price.
  2. What does it return per real hour, not per in game day?
  3. How much of your attention does it need? A business that needs a sale run every forty minutes is a job, not income.
  4. Does it need other players? Solo viable and group only are different products.

The payback rule

Divide the full buy in by hourly return. If it takes more hours to pay back than you plan to play that month, buy something cheaper first. Our money guide covers the earning side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best business in GTA 6?

None have been announced. Once they are, apply the payback rule above rather than trusting a ranking without numbers behind it.

Do businesses earn while you are offline?

Not confirmed for GTA 6. In GTA Online most did not.
