Carry On Together company upgrades are paid for out of the COMPANY FUNDS balance on the HUD: every successful delivery adds money, every broken item takes it back, and the balance is what lets you upgrade the company and take on bigger jobs.
Carry On Together company upgrades: the company funds
The company balance is a first-class number on the HUD. COMPANY FUNDS sits on the right-hand side next to the minimap and shows what the business currently holds, for example ¢227.727 on a mountain run and ¢205.023 on a foggy bridge delivery. What you earn on a job feeds that balance, and what you break takes it straight back out.
The loop is the whole point of the game: run the company with friends, complete moving jobs, and either lose all your earnings or hold it together as a team. The question the game keeps asking is whether you can keep the company alive.
Upgrading is not a separate menu you unlock at some point. It is the natural consequence of a good run — the balance goes up, and the bigger balance pays for bigger work.
Bigger jobs carry bigger tags
Work orders make the size of a job visible before you accept it. A job headed House with Terrace is tagged MOVING - HOUSE - Medium, and the order also carries a total weight in kilograms, an item count and a reward. A Medium house job on that order is 32 items and 7500 kg for ¢19.614.
The tag, the weight and the item count together tell you how many people you want in the session and how many trips you should plan for, which is what makes a bigger contract worth taking once the company can carry it. A bigger contract also sends the crew to a different kind of site, and the delivery locations guide lists the four kinds you can be handed.
The base changes as the company grows
The company visibly changes as it grows. The Warehouse has picked up a gazebo to relax in, and there are two new decorations for your truck. The Warehouse is also the service hub: the hardware store is there, and the training area sits on its lower floor, so the crew has somewhere to practise between jobs.
Spending the balance is covered in the buying equipment guide.
