'''Business perks''' came with ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'', ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]''. They are rewards for receiving customer loyalty points in a [[business]].

'''Business perks''' came with the ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' [[expansion pack]]. They are rewards for receiving customer loyalty points in a [[business]]. A business owner can get only a total of 10 business perk points per business, one per level of the business. There are five sections of business perks: [[Connections]], [[Perception]], [[Simoleon|Cash]], [[Wholesale]] and [[Motivation]]. Each section has five tiers. They are used to help the Sim's business do well, however some, such as [[Rally forth|Rally Forth]], can drain the user's energy.
 
==The Sims 2: Open for Business==
The 'Pass On' interaction allows a Sim who has a perk to pass it on to another family member or friend, or to a manager. In this case 'family' is equivalent to 'household'. Sims cannot invite relatives who are not part of the household to come over, and then pass on perks to them. (Contrary to what is in the Prima guide for OFB, perks can be passed on to teens.) The higher the level of the perk, the longer it takes to pass on. Obviously, Cash perks cannot be passed on, but all others can be. If you intend for a Sim to inherit a business, it is recommended to pass on at least a few perks to that Sim, as that will help them to continue expanding the business after the teacher is long gone.

If the player intends for a Sim to inherit a business, it is recommended to pass on at least a few perks to that Sim, as that will help them to continue expanding the business after the teacher is long gone.
Business Perks are changed to '''Retail Perks''' in [[The Sims 4: Get to Work|''The Sims 4: Get to Work'']], they are achieved through different ways but function the same as Business Perks in that they can unlocked and help your Sims business as it grows. Retail Perks are bought through Perk Points in which are recieved when a Sim who owns a business interacts with their customer through retail interactions like questioning their price range and helping with Sales as well as if a Customer successfully buys a Item and restocking.
 
==The Sims 2: Open for Business==
 
=== Cash ===
These awards are useful for venues, and can give a boost to struggling new businesses. At the higher levels, they're useful to owners of home businesses, especially if they plan to retire at some point.
 
Line 49 ⟶ 45:
|}
 
=== Wholesale ===
These perks are useful for businesses that sell catalog items, as they increase the discount an owner gets when buying at wholesale. (An owner with no Wholesale perks gets a 10% discount when buying at wholesale.) They also appear to reduce the cost of restocking point-of-sale objects such as [[Clothes#Clothing Racks in Businesses|clothing racks]]. This can allow a business owner to increase profit margins, or to reduce prices while continuing to make a good profit. Since lower prices make items easier to sell, this can be a useful tool for new businesses struggling to gain [[customer loyalty]].
 
Line 85 ⟶ 81:
|}
 
=== Perception ===
These perks can help a business gain [[customer loyalty]] and additional [[simoleon]]s as a result. This tool is highly useful for business owners wishing to gain more Businessbusiness Perksperks at a faster rate for any of their businesses.

Line 121 ⟶ 117:

=== Motivation ===
These perks are best used to prevent your workers from quitting inexplicably. YouSims can make sure yourtheir employees are in a better mood than is indicated by their sphere [[PlumbBob]].

Line 157 ⟶ 153:
|}
 
=== Connections ===
Since sales interactions are more likely to be well received when the seller and customer have a positive relationship, these perks will help in making sales. Of course, they're also useful beyond the shop walls. Even at low levels, they can help in making friends for careers or influence.
 
Line 193 ⟶ 189:
|}
 
==The Sims 4: Get to Work==
Business perks return in ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', ''The Sims 4: Dine Out'' and ''The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs''. They're used for retail stores, [[restaurant]]s and [[vet clinic]]s to boost up their employees, customer services and overall quality. Business perks are purchased with perk points, which are earned when employees perform business related interactions on customers successfully.
 
In retail stores, perk points can be earned by doing retail interactions with customers and restocking shelves. In restaurants, perk points are earned by having good ratings and satisfied customers, whom are achieved by having good quality food, great ambiance and good service. In vet clinics, perk points are earned similarly to restaurants, which is by having satisfied customers from good service, ambiance, and most importantly, successful curing of pets.
Retails perks aren't put into categories and are bought from a list, just like purchasing from the Aspirations Rewards Store.
