Since we have a stock market, I was wondering what chance there is that members, with an appropriate amount of capital and a business plan proposal, might be able to create companies of some kind.  If you want I can elaborate more.  It might be an interesting long-term project.

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

What about item production?
And maybe an insurance company?
Is there a way we can add specific types of items to our inventory without going through ICS. Such as a store that sells bantha leather products or one that makes a line of protocol droids? Basically what I am asking is if there is another way besides ICS
infinities orders to produce items of our own design.

Also, can we get stocks for some of the companies that make a lot of cash, IE: our companies go public?

As far as stores go like the ICS, the database is setup to have different stores.  I would probably just need to make a few adjustments to the code to work with a new page layout.

Basically how it works is, the IVE manufactures the items; once the items are created, they get picked up by the ICS and added to the inventory.  So if there was another store, this same model would work as well.

When creating items, there would just be a review of which items would be allowed and which ones not.  But if you came up with all the information, pictures, etc, you could essentially create your own items.

As far as an insurance company goes, that would be fine too.

Once your company is established, it can apply to make it's company shares public.

A loan company would be pretty easy to setup.  That would just require capital to be able to give out loans.

Not sure what you mean by a resource or shipping company.  What exactly did you have in mind for that?

As far as getting a company to go public, you'll have to get the company running and start generating revenue.  It would then have to be accepted by the Imperial Stock Exchange review board in order to be made into a publicly traded company.

If you start the loan company, I'm starting the Collection Agency.

But I have a question about like the mining one, what work would be involved?

Mining doesn't sound half bad.  Course, we dont mine ICs.  /me considers smashing Raigen with a mallet for that ridiculously illogical statement.

Since we're mining, we could always start a gambling industry.  But I'd be interested in a loaning company.  I always wanted that feature from the FGB
