Best business to buy in GTA Online: Ranking the top 5
Money drives everything in GTA Online. If you want to dominate Los Santos, running a business is the way to go instead of working for someone else. Fortunately, GTA Online features a plethora of business opportunities, though not all are profitable. With that said, we’ll show you the five best businesses to buy to rake in cash in the game.

Here’s a list of some of the most profitable Business in GTA V Online:
5. Meth Lab

This is, of course, an MC business and it functions the same way as all other MC businesses. You provide it with supplies, it makes your product, likely will get raided, and then you have to do a sale mission to get the money at the end. Despite this, it’s still one of the better businesses in the game. You can sell it for about $425,000 and in a full sale, you can get about $450,000. This is a good amount of money considering you only have to put in two resupplies into it.
4. Cocaine Lockup

Like the Meth Lab, you supply it, and it manufactures the product. It will also get raided, and you’ll have to do sale missions. However, this business can make you $525,000 for a full sale, which is pretty awesome if you’re not interested in doing heists. Definitely worth your time to own both of these MC businesses, even though they’re tedious.
3. Hangar

The Hangar has had some insanely good buffs over the last few years in GTA Online. It’s gone from literally the worst business in the game to well within the top five. They tripled the value of Air Freight Cargo, added Rooster who can passively source you air freight cargo, and allowed you to use ground vehicles for Hangar missions. On double money and double RP, the Hangar is definitely worth running. Plus, you can store and customize your aircraft in the Hangar.
2. Auto Shop

The Auto Shop comes with several ways to make money, despite having to deal with the annoying characters KDJ and Sessanta. The best way to make money is through the Auto Shop contracts, which are mini heists paying anywhere from $180,000 to $300,000. They take about 20-30 minutes, depending on your skill level. There are also customer deliveries and the import-export list for high-value vehicles, making the Auto Shop a pretty good business overall.
1. Chop Shop

The Chop Shop offers vehicle heists, where you get a vehicle to sell for a profit, and you’re supposed to be able to keep some vehicles once the drip feed is unlocked. The Chop Shop also includes the tow truck and semi-passive wall safe, providing decent passive income. Overall, the Chop Shop is a very good business, especially with the potential of multi-million-dollar cars in the future.
Bonus: Night Club

GTA Online’s Night Club generates income through two primary channels. Nightclub Operations provide passive earnings from guests paying for entry and drinks. Meanwhile, the Underground Warehouse is the main source of profit, with technicians gathering and storing goods. With maximum popularity, you can earn $50,000 every 48 minutes. Moreover, a complete sale with all upgrades and storage floors can bring in $1,690,000 from the basement operations.
