They taught me a bunch of stuff after that . It turns out opening a store in this world isn’t that hard . You just have to go through the guild to buy land and the other necessary stuff, and you’ll be able to start your business right away . After that you have to write down your profits and expenses, and then pay your income tax and land tax once a year to the guild . As long as you can do that, age and gender doesn’t really matter .
It’s almost as if the only question is whether you can make money and pay up .
The first tax is also twice as expensive . Mainly because it’s essentially the equivalent of the gratuity fee [1] back in earth . The fees for the business license changes depending on the scale . A street stall would go for about 5 medium copper coins, while the plot of land I bought after becoming a store will cost me two gold coins .
The last expense is the annual fee . It’s sort of like a donation to the guild . Originally, just a small amount for the annual fees was fine, but because a limit was never set, it’s become customary for people to pay as much as they can afford to show off their wealth . Naturally, the guild also treats higher paying members better, on top of the increased reputation . Yeah, they’re merchants alright .
Like this I completed the lengthy process of buying a store, and after I thanked the three of them, I left .
Serge-san apparently had to show up in the next meeting of the merchants guild, and Pioro had something to discuss with him, so I parted with him at the guild .
I think I’ll start building my store once I complete my last adventurer job… I won’t be making just a cave this time, but a real building . I did work part time as a construction worker in my past life . It was hard, but being able to see your work amount to something so visibly really felt great .
I’m looking forward to it .
[1] – From what I gather, a gratuity fee is basically a security deposit .
