Been there, run that. I was partners with another character" he was the
rigger, I was the gun runner. We got together and bought a garbage
corporation as a front. IIRC, we broke about even, but it was mostly a
front to launder the money from the gunrunning. But we also a great reason
to have a vehicle shop, which we also used for other characters, and a way
to get around the city unseen.

But we had the whole thing legitimately set up, employees (who didn't know
about our other activities), a logo on the trucks and everything. Of
course, we didn't let them use the truck with the "special" mods.
