"There is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction..." - Andrew Ryan
This article falls within the scope of the BioShock Wiki:Businesses Project. This project is dedicated to improving the articles about Rapture and Columbia's many businesses.
Would you kindly help the BioShock Wiki by volunteering on the project page?

"...if you're going to do such things, at least you should
do them properly." - Brigid Tenenbaum
This article, Rapture Businesses , or a section of this article may require overall cleanup.
For Businesses in Columbia, see Columbia Businesses.

As perhaps the most zealously laissez-faire society in mankind's history, Rapture experienced a great deal of commerce during its prime. Ranging from large companies like Fontaine Futuristics to smaller entities like Gagnant Bicycles, Rapture fulfilled its promise as a place of opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs.
