Fronts
The Company uses its fronts both to cover day-to-day operations and to generate revenue.
Insurance
Several medium-sized insurance providers are owned by the Company. These fronts provide access to a lot of otherwise confidential information, and specialists a perfect excuse to go poking around an event scene (whether a real policy was involved or not).
Insurance companies are also good sources of cash in their own right. Unfortunately, that also means that they’re consistently under a lot of government scrutiny. As a result, insurance companies are used mainly for intelligence gathering and phony credentials.
Real Estate
Like insurance, the real estate business would seem to have a natural synergy with the Company’s real work. After all, the Company has an interest in keeping tight control over contaminated sites. Unfortunately, even when possible, decontaminations can take years- years when access to the sites must be strictly avoided.
This leads to a sharp division between holdings related to the Company’s core business and holdings used to generate or launder revenue.
