Registration, licensing & financial support

Supporting the financial health of Los Santos.

The Department of Finance is of utmost importance within the City of Los Santos, San Andreas, as they are responsible for a plethora of duties, ranging from business and charity registration and licensing, to the implementation of tax incentives and means of assistance with such. Their primary means of operation are Finance Officers which work out of City Hall at all hours, ensuring that somebody is available to assist any members of the public with their questions, queries, or concerns. They serve as a way of supporting, encouraging, and maintaining better financial health for all of Los Santos.

Standards & accountability

Registration and the Business Code

When it comes to registration, the Finance team will review every single individual piece of documentation provided by a member of the public who wishes to become, for example, a business owner. This is to ensure that the businesses operating within Los Santos are legally documented, represented, and licensed to do the duties in which they are open for. With such, the Department of Finance will continuously provide efficient and appropriate regulations that these businesses will operate under, which in turn helps maintain a level of unison and cohesion across the board.

These Finance Officers are directly tied to something known as the Business Code, which is essentially a piece of legislation aimed towards the obligatory registration and licensing of a business, whilst also heavily outlining the penalties that can ensue should a business not be adhering to these requirements, and operating without a legal allowance to do so. With such, they will then ensure all of that documentation is consistently up to date, making sure any business changes or issues are noted down accordingly to prevent future complications.

The Department of Finance work closely with the likes of the Los Santos Police Department, Los Santos Sheriff's Department, and San Fire in order to enforce these parameters outlined within the Business Code, as well as ensuring that no businesses are operating illegally and jeopardizing the overall values and state of the City of Los Santos.

Meet the leadership team

Eloise Lefebvre

Director of Finance

Hello! My name is Eloise Lefebvre and I'm the current Director of The Department of Finance.

My career in Finance started over a year ago as a Junior Finance Officer, through dedication and hard work I have managed to climb up the promotion ladder.

Through out my career, we have managed to raise awareness of the necessity of business Licensing in the county, before that we had a very low ratio of registered businesses and now more than 80% are.

The Department is also almost fully migrated to GOVNET with all important forms and documents already here, you can register your charity, your business and even apply for a grant directly on GOVNET.

My line/Socials/Email are always open if you ever have any questions regarding the department.
