From One Rented Unit to a Corporation
The loop from your first rented unit to your first profitable store, and what the game does not explain.
The Hamptons, private drivers, the Pricing Manager and the rest, from the official changelog rather than the feature list.
A version-by-version comparison so you can tell whether a number you read online is from 1.0 or from Early Access.
Every achievement with its tier threshold and global unlock rate. Several 1.0 ones sit at 0.1%.

What is Big Ambitions?
Big Ambitions is a single-player business simulation set in a recreated New York City, made by Hovgaard Games. You arrive with nothing, rent your first commercial unit, stock it, hire staff, work out how goods get from an importer to a shelf, and grow from one shop into a corporation. It spent years in Early Access and reached 1.0 on 28 August 2026.
That long Early Access is the reason this wiki exists in the shape it does. A great deal of the advice online was written against a build that no longer behaves the same way, and the community wiki is only part way through its own 1.0 overhaul. Where a number cannot be traced to the current build, this site says so instead of repeating it.

Half the advice you will find was written for a different build
Early Access ran for years and the economy moved. Before you follow a price, a salary or a logistics cap you read somewhere, check which version it came from. That is what most of this site is for.
