As you progress through the main story and advance your gang’s reputation, there are various criminal ventures you can take part in to increase your cash flow. Most of these require you to spend money to make money, but the pay-out is worth it, as the passive earnings are the best source of constant cash flow in Saints Row. In order to begin criminal ventures, you first need to have unlocked the Empire Table. To get to this point, you simply need to follow the main storyline and complete the mission “Networking”, after which the table will be placed upstairs in your HQ. Once it’s available, your companions will begin to set you short quest chains that unlock criminal ventures. Upon completion of the quests, you can set up your own stake in that venture and begin to generate passive earnings from the businesses you’ve invested in.
