Saints Row criminal enterprises explained
The Saints Row criminal enterprises are both a great way of getting new equipment and a way for the game to drip-feed you more cash as you play. Starting small, you can invest both money and time into ventures for a much bigger payout. After you earn the Saints HQ, you can go to the table upstairs and invest in new enterprises.
Once you have bought one and placed it somewhere, you can do the missions associated with it and eliminate the threat nearby to make it earn much more. As you continue to upgrade those, your total balance and HQ will upgrade alongside it. As well as this, you will get small upgrades to your items and gear. Needless to say, it's worth putting the time in.
