Running a Meth Lab business in GTA Online is not the most tedious task, but it’s somewhere up there. It is one of those businesses that you can start with a Motorcycle Club and make a lot of money for your luxury.

You first need to buy a Clubhouse from the Maze Bank Foreclosures. We don’t have a specification for a “clubhouse” just try to keep it in a spot where it won’t be too inconvenient for you to get to.

Once you have bought a Clubhouse and set everything up, get to your office and access the laptop. Now, all you need to do is start the meth lab business. But hold up. We have some tips to set you on your way.

Once you open the laptop, select the Methamphetamine from the left side. There will be four labs to choose from. Although all of them require similar setup steps and a similar way of maintenance, you still need to build your lab in a place that is right for you. Keep the following things in mind:

  • Whichever lab you select, try not to go for the Paleto Bay one. Even though it will be cheaper compared to the others, I suggest you save up some money before beginning this business. Also, if there is an urgent need for you to “protect the business”, you may not be able to get there in time. Try to buy a lab within or close to the city.
  • Once you get everything started at the lab, you will need to resupply often. You can either buy the supplies or steal them. If you have enough money, always buy these supplies because stealing them will be time-consuming. It will take you 3 to 4 stealing missions for a complete stock of supplies. Those who have a lot of time on their hands after buying the supplies can do other things to make more money.
  • You will also find a house icon appearing on your map each day. This is a Stash House, usually marked in purple on the map. Clear these out on the daily to resupply as well. There are a few guards inside that you need to eliminate. Find a yellow note stuck to a wall inside and memorize the code. Open the big safe in the building to finish the job.
  • There are three kinds of upgrades: Equipment, Staff, and Security. The first two increase your productivity and boost your profit permanently. The last one saves your business from frequent NPC raids. We recommend that you invest in the latter before reaping profits because that will save your time which you can then invest in doing other things for money and fun.

Selling your production is relatively simple and doesn’t require any tips. You can do it on your own. If it doesn’t work for you, you can also close this business and check out something that does work for you.
