Star Rating

Yesterday I expected my Fitness Center to move up in star rating but it did not, it remained at 7*.

My fitness center is 1 year and 4 months old.

Based on income, I should be 9*.

What am I missing?

Any help would help.

Maybe you need to spend more time ranking up your company experience to move up. Im not sure this might be maxed at your company age though.



and, you can only move up or down 1 star each Sunday.

I did not increase any star at all this weekend. And my understanding is age of the company should allow it to star up.

Seams you were mistaken. Lot of fitness centres out there.

And what is my mistake?

Being of the understanding that your companies age would make you rank up.

Some companies have been around less than a year and have 8*.

Apart from company age, what else is required to increase company experience?

Ranking is based on weekly income and hidden xp.

Company age is only a rough guide. For instance 1), If a 5 year company was dormant for 4 years and 10 months that means it only has 2 - 4 months xp. Instance 2) If a company was active for a whole year, It has 1 year worth of xp.

Clearly instance 2 company is better but many would have brought the 5 year company because they would think it has higher xp than the 1 year one.

What' your position on companies losing experience over time.

I think companies only lose xp if it completely stops making income. Obviously, they lose Rank.

There have been instances where companies I know off have lvl to 10* far quicker when others didn't. The only thing I noticed they had in common was they were 10* before and were making some income.

The only real way would be for 2 experienced directors to get 2 companies of the same type one old that had been 10* and died 1 new to 10* and quickly tanked and see which one ranked the quickest.

It could easily be fixed to hit the same income roughly.

Unfortunately, Employee factor will affect the result greatly. So it not really ideal.

Some Employee factors including

Druggy vs non druggy, login daily vs stayed login. Faction specials druggies vs no faction druggies. Working stats breakdown etc

Could be arranged within a faction, would probably have to be for a mid tier company though in order to get the working stats of a useful level.

Have you completed the business education courses?

Fitness Centers are notoriously slow to rank up. You just need to be patient and get the cumulative income needed.

I have completed all business education class.

Once you have finished those educations, it would be ideal to get yourself then two of the stocks that offer benefits for business.

These are:

*Tell Group PLC (TGP)
You are entitled to receive a significant boost in company advertising (if you are the director) when holding at least 2,500,000 shares.

*Torn City Media Productions (TCP)
You are entitled to receive support for your company (if you are the owner) which should result in a 10% bonus to profits when holding at least 1,000,000 shares.

Once you have those, you will want to decide how far you want to upgrade your company and how many maximum employees you want to start. When you have made a decision and had the money to make your purchase and upgrades, you will then need to make sure you have enough cash on hand in your company for at least one weeks of employee wages and advertising costs.
Finally, a great tool to get installed on your PC Browser is Tornstats.
It is an excellent tool that besides offering you insight into your character it will also be valuable to running your company. It provides the ability to look at your company details as well as look at your employee effectiveness and see which employees are better suited for which positions based on their work stats.
As a final note buying a brand new company and starting from scratch will cost you much more time to get it ranked up to Ten Stars and get employees with good quality work stats. If it is not a personal goal to start from the very beginning, you may want to purchase a preexisting company although it can be costly upfront it will be easier to get to the final goal of Ten Stars faster.

These will help you become a capable director although it will take an extensive amount of time and money to get there.
Enjoy your new Business. :)

Let me know if that helps.

Hi,

yes and no. I already knew about education and stock benefits. I only have probability left and it's already started. I have both stock mentioned.

I use Tornstats to manage my company and I purchased a company that was already 16 months old. I was not aware that inactive companies to earn XP so now I just have to wait for it to star up.

In regards to your post, I find it quite complete.

Some other hings that will contribute to taking a long time to hit 10 Stars is not having a full 20 employees. Employees not operating at 5 stars due to low skills, drug addiction, and low happy. Also if you can try to aquire employees who have the skills to perform the job at 150%.

Also you could study your torm stats company page and see if you can possibly swap some employees around so they are all running at 150%
