This is an idea that I really wanted to write about, the Loud siblings going into business together (serious question: why has no one done a story like this before?). For the last few years, I've shown a fascination with the ins and outs of what makes a successful and unsuccessful business and the people behind them. Different company collapses over the years, the financial crisis and recession, and the rise of tech giants and conglomerates have all contributed to this, and Aaron Sorkin's films, such as The Social Network and Steve Jobs, have helped me craft this idea.
This first chapter, though, is going to be much different than the rest of the story. This is going to establish how successful the siblings are in the present day, after the story itself happens. My reason for doing that? It's going to help frame the story to read like a biographical drama. I don't expect too many people to share my interest in learning about CEOs, so I understand if you find this first chapter boring. I promise that the rest of the story will read like a drama, and I appreciate everyone that will stick around and give this story a chance.
Disclaimer: The Loud House and characters belong to Nickelodeon.
Also, expect a rather sporadic update schedule, seeing as I have two other stories I'm currently working on. More importantly, though, is that I want to take my time with each chapter, as this idea is something that, I think, really needs to be thought through.

Loud LLC is an American multinational corporation based in Detroit, Michigan. Its subsidiaries include Leni by Lola, Tough Love, Loud n' Proud Instruments, Nobel Labs, and Loud Designs, which are involved in luxury goods and apparel, sports apparel, musical instruments, medical equipment and research, and product graphics respectively. The company has employees in 40 different countries and serves customers worldwide, though most of their sales come from within the United States.
In 2040, the company produced an annual profit of $64 billion, making it the largest privately held company in the state of Michigan. If it were a publicly held company, it would rank 50th on the list of Fortune 500 companies.
The company traces its origins to the now-defunct Loud Merchandise, also founded by the Loud siblings, which started after one of the siblings, Lincoln Loud, submitted a design on the online T-shirt website T-springs. The success of the design convinced the several of the sisters to start Loud Merchandise to expand the products and design offerings. All of the siblings eventually left, and after founding their own companies, they restructured all of them into becoming subsidiaries of a new company started by sisters Lori, Lola, and Lisa, the original executives of Loud Merchandise.
Today, the company is one of the fastest-growing companies in the United States, with consistently rising revenues and an ever-expanding product list. The siblings have stated that the company was created to give themselves sole autonomy of day-to-day operations and product decisions, a desire that stemmed from their own failures while still running and working at Loud Merchandise.

Yes, this was intentional. I want to establish their success right off the bat, as I want this story to read like a biographical drama (or biofic, as I'm calling it) rather than a typical drama. A such, instead of asking "Will the siblings succeed?", this story asks "How did the siblings succeed?".
And two quick things I want to mention. 1) If you see a first name you recognize from the show, it is, indeed, that character. Since a lot of the side characters don't have last names, I just made some up for them. 2)Lily not getting her own chart is intentional. When the story starts off proper, she's only going to be a freshman in high school, so it wouldn't make sense giving her duties while she still has to deal with classwork.
Finally, I know there will be a lot of questions considering how far into the future I wrote this and the information I gave for each sibling, and I just want to say that all questions should be answered as the story progresses. Remember, this is a biofic, and in order for a biography to exist, a person has to already go through the events that are being written about.
Thank you all for reading. Stay tuned for the next chapter when the story begins proper.
