Every business requires components.

Closed businesses can be broken into.
It will be possible to break down the door and forcefully enter the business, but this will be difficult and require a lot of time and resources.
A business can have security levels.
This will reduce the amount of money that can be stolen, alert the cops sooner, and make breaking into and robbing it more difficult and take longer.

Use /gps - Moneyvan rental to locate the moneyvans that can be used to unload your business or a business you have duplicate keys of. After entering of these, use /rentcar to be able to drive it to the location of your business.
