I have a bunch of corporations that are at 100% employed 110% production, selling there high demand goods at 300 to 400%, are not buying upgrades and are still loosing money, to the point of shutting down. Whats up? are supplies so expensive that the corporations cant make a buck. are my 300 level salaries too high? Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like your main has too many corps. Try and keep hiring in corporations at 100%. Your slave corps look to be fine, but some products are in surplus meaning less income and losses for the corporation. The corporations making things in demand were making a profit.

By not buying upgrades they are not spending money. Also supply and demand seems to have extreme fluctuations from oversupply to shortages. I have been having a lot of my corps that make high shortage goods close but some of my low oversupply companies keep staying in business.

jw - You do need to upgrade at least the quality of production process to the max for your corporations to be truly profitable. Efficiency is OK just helps you to need a few less workers but the quality upgrades are a must. If you want to see the difference take 2 of your corps of the same product and upgrade the quality of one to the max and don't upgrade the other. You will see the difference in profitability. It is an example of spending money to make money.

You should not need to build profitable Corps through trial and error.
If you go to the 'Products in stock; buy and sell' page you can observe products with red bars. If you click these products you get their details. Next to each line of details, is a red & green pic. Click these to see a little over a Game year worth of data. Corporations that should be profitable and the ones you want to build, will be those that Demand is consistently higher than supply.
