Thanks to Chief Donatus and his sketchy business dealings, the entire compound was temporarily evicted, and now Baba Landlord has banned Prosper from selling beer. There goes his main source of income, and if you know Prosper, you know he's not exactly thrilled about that.

Watch Baba Landlord issue the ban

So, what’s a guy to do when his cash flow suddenly dries up? Fear not, we’ve come up with five brilliant (if slightly questionable) business ideas that should help Prosper earn a little money while keeping things low-key under Baba Landlord’s radar.

Girlfriend lookout
Let’s face it, the amount of drama in this compound caused by tenants like Chief Donatus and Honourable Dan juggling multiple girlfriends is unreal. The surprise visits and accidental run-ins? Priceless. But what if Prosper could turn this mess into a business? He could offer a “girlfriend lookout” service to help the guys avoid those awkward clashes. Imagine the relief of knowing your side chick won’t bump into your main chick in the hallway. Prosper might just save a few relationships... for a fee, of course.

Ushering guests around
Prosper is already the compound's gateman, so why not expand on his role? For a little extra cash, he could offer a VIP guest ushering service. Need someone to guide your guests through the maze that is this compound? Prosper’s your guy. And hey, for the right price, he could even add a touch of class. Think of it as a compound concierge service!

Clothes retrieval service (Laundry helper)
We all know that Prosper is often picking up tenants’ clothes off the line. But why do it for free when he could be making a tidy profit from it? Times are hard, and everyone could use a little help. Prosper can easily charge his neighbours to fetch their clothes when the rain starts pouring or when they just don’t feel like doing it themselves. It's the small services that add up!

The information broker
Every compound needs a “gossip guy,” and Prosper is already halfway there. Why not make it official? He could charge a small fee to provide juicy info on what’s going down in the compound. Need to know where your fiancé Frank is sneaking off to? Mimi will definitely pay for that kind of intel. Prosper could be the trusted (and paid) compound informant, giving tenants the scoop on all the drama without spilling his own tea.

Car wash extraordinaire
Why let the tenants drive to some random car wash when Prosper could bring the service right to their doorstep? With a couple of sponges, some soap, and a little elbow grease, he could offer a car-washing service that would keep the tenants' cars sparkling without them having to lift a finger. It's a win-win: Prosper gets cash, and the tenants get clean rides. Vroom vroom, indeed.

So, there you have it – five lucrative options for Prosper now that his beer-selling gig is on hold. The big question is, which hustle will he dive into? Knowing Prosper, he might just try all five!
