The town music loops from the point it stopped when you last exited a town, instead of starting from the beginning. Eventually, the town music doesn't play at all, as it loops only the last fraction of a second.
If you've gotten all the Angel Investor Upgrades prior to it, then the final one increases the bonus from +4% to +6%; this translates into All Profits x1.5. Eternal Revenue Service costs over 10x as much as Profit Prophet, yet is only half as effective.
Keximus, here are the formulas for business costs, where 'x' is the number of businesses of that type you currently own: Lemonade = 4 * 1.07^(x-1); Newspaper = 60 * 1.15^x; Car Wash = 720 * 1.14^x; Pizza = 8640 * 1.13^x; Donut = 103680 * 1.12^x; Shrimp = 1244160 * 1.11^x; Hockey = 14929920 * 1.10^x; Movie = 179159040 * 1.09^x; Bank = 2149908480 * 1.08^x; Oil = 25798901760 * 1.07^x
Alternatively, if you want to make managers more relevant to gameplay, you can train/upgrade managers after hiring them. Businesses are only a fraction as profitable when managers run them alone, but the player can still continue to click on the businesses (as they would before hiring managers) to make them run at peak efficiency. Thus, you reward players for actively playing.
I feel like managers are pretty useless as a game mechanic. It takes so little time to buy them all, that all the businesses might as well be run automatically at the start.

Shouldn't the Monopsony upgrade lower my buying prices instead of increasing my profits? The definition of Monopsony is that there is only one buyer interfacing with many sellers. Being that I'm the only one they can sell to, I can force the companies I'm buying to sell themselves at a low price, since no-one else can out-bid me.
It seems some people don't like how the prices invert by the end-game (well, mid-game now). I think you should invest in a TI-84 and start playing around with quadratic equations.
Looking at the updated version at Hyper Hippo's website, I notice a couple (admittedly very small) problems. One, the Upgrade "Busniess Pages" misspells Business; two, the new font would look a lot nicer italicized and bolded. On the other hand, the subtle Adventure Time reference for the 500 Lemonade Stand achievement made me chuckle.
There is an alarming number of things in this game that look like you're doing something important, when in fact it doesn't contribute to any puzzles or aid your escape in any way.
