You can enter a firm description up to 50 characters long.

Yeah, more convenient than maintaining a spreadsheet on all your firms.
I used to be able to rely on memory alone, and I had a very good memory, but sadly not as good as it used to be with age :ugeek:

In some screens the name truncates, but I haven't found a cutoff yet in the firm's screen where you edit the name.

:lol: It serves as a pleasant reminder to rename your firms.

Once I get more than about 30 - 40 firms, naming them is the only way I can keep track of which one does what for where. Examples of names I use are:

Large Global Corn HiQ - Sydney // Large farm raising only Corn, high quality, in Sydney for global market
Mart: Bev #1 - Paris // First Convenience Store in Paris selling just Beverage
Med DC Local Wheat/Citric/C.Syrup - Miami // Medium warehouse distribution center storing Wheat, Citric Acid, and Corn Syrup for Miami

New feature preview of the upcoming Capitalism Lab v2.7.00 beta:

The game will automatically generate descriptions for your firms in the formation of <firm type><number> (City). e.g. "Factory 001 (Sydney)"

Attached is a screenshot showing computer generated firm descriptions.
