Big Ambitions Headquarters
Headquarters is the management layer for a growing company. Build one when HR, purchasing, logistics or neighborhood-wide pricing work already exists; an HQ is overhead, not a direct-sales business.
Headquarters Roles
Official material confirms a set of management roles, but exact salary, workstation and management-limit values still require a current interface check.
| HR Manager | Central employee administration and insurance visibility | The employee list is difficult to manage manually |
| Purchasing Agent | Automates supplier or importer purchasing targets | Warehouse replenishment is recurring |
| Logistics Manager | Distributes warehouse stock to destinations | Several stores need repeated deliveries |
| Pricing Manager | Updates prices across a neighborhood and can suggest prices based on skill | Many products or locations make manual repricing costly |
When to Build an HQ
The correct trigger is repeated management work, not a particular bank balance.
- Several businesses share employees or stock
- Purchasing orders repeat
- Warehouse delivery routes already make sense
- Manual price updates cover many products or locations
- The existing businesses can pay HQ rent, furniture and wages
Office Setup
Official store material says management employees need office desks and computers. Use the current BizMan requirement panel to determine the exact workstation and count before hiring.
- Lease a suitable office
- Create accessible workstations
- Provide desk and computer requirements shown in-game
- Hire the manager
- Assign the manager to the intended task or business group
- Confirm the assignment in BizMan
Pricing Manager in 1.0
The official 1.0 preview states that a Pricing Manager can update all item prices in an entire neighborhood at once. Higher-skilled employees can also suggest prices each day.
- Neighborhood-wide price updates
- Daily price suggestions tied to skill
Do Not Build It Too Early
One small store rarely creates enough administrative work to justify a headquarters. Manual scheduling, buying and delivery remain cheaper while the network is small and close together.
- No recurring manager task
- Only one easy-to-stock location
- Cash reserve would be depleted
- Store operations are still unstable
HQ Troubleshooting
If a manager appears ineffective, verify the whole assignment chain before replacing the employee.
- Correct HQ and workstation
- Employee assigned to the role
- Target businesses or neighborhood selected
- Source warehouse or supplier configured
- Schedule and employee demands satisfied
- Enough cash and storage for the requested action
