I don't know what happened this time. I have done task 2 but the balance is not increasing in any way. This has never happened before. Please take a look and tell me where the problem is.

When you started your company, you took out a loan of 200k — but without buying any equipment that could actually generate profit.
Years went by, the interest kept piling up. Then you took another loan to pay off the old one, but that only made the debt grow even larger because of higher interest rates.

Now, your profit is very small — only about 2000 a year. And if something happens to your transport (like a traffic jam) or production drops, there will be no profit at all — the company will go bankrupt.

1️⃣ I can delete your company so you can start over — you can create a new one, and I’ll remove this one later (or it might disappear automatically after bankruptcy).
Don’t worry — negative experience is still experience, and you can even write about it in your blog.

2️⃣ Or you can try to get out of the crisis on your own — that’s the harder path.
Loans are evil, just like in real life — that’s why in the game I try to pay them off as quickly as possible.

There’s also a third option — you can create a new company and still try to keep this one from going bankrupt.
(It’s totally fine to have two companies — that’s actually a plus!)
You’ll just switch between them from time to time.

After all, when life (or the game) is too easy, we don’t really learn much — we grow and learn faster through failures and challenges.

The main problem is that the game gave you a loan right when you created the company, and since the time you logged in again, the debt has grown because of the accumulating interest.

My company already went bankrupt once, and then I created a new company and it's showing the same problem. I now feel like choosing the first option would be the right one for me. But if I choose the first option, can I use the previous screenshots in my entry post?
