How to Get Started with the Agency Property in GTA V Online

Agency quick facts

What the Agency is and what you unlock

The Agency is F. Clinton and Partner, a celebrity solutions business you co-run with Franklin. Lamar introduces it with a phone call, and once you buy an office you're in business.

Buying an Agency unlocks:

• Security Contracts, repeatable Free Mode missions launched from the office computer

• The Dr. Dre VIP Contract, a multi-mission story with a GTA$ 900,000 payout

• Payphone Hits, quick assassination jobs Franklin sets up

• Short Trips, a set of two-player LD Organics missions

• Imani Tech, combat vehicle mods (once you add the Vehicle Workshop)

To start any of the contract work, you need to register as a VIP, CEO or MC President first.

One honest note before you buy: the Agency's passive income is real but modest. The office Safe grows as you complete Security Contracts, and it caps out well below what a proper passive business generates. Treat the Safe as a bonus on top of the active work, not a reason to buy.

Agency locations and which to buy

All four Agencies sit in Los Santos, reasonably close together, and the interiors are identical. That makes the choice simple: buy the cheapest. If you're searching for the best Agency location in GTA Online, it's Little Seoul.

You buy an Agency on the Dynasty 8 Executive website. Every location comes with a 20-car garage, and the property charges a small daily fee: GTA$ 250 for the office plus a GTA$ 10 garage mechanic fee.

Agency upgrades worth buying

There are six upgrade options at purchase: three functional, three cosmetic.

Get the two functional rooms: the Armory and the Vehicle Workshop are the reason the Agency is still worth owning in 2026. Add the Accommodation if you want a spawn point at the office. Skip the cosmetics unless money is no object.

The Armory

The Armory is a private, discounted Ammu-Nation inside your Agency. You can buy and customize weapons at a discount, upgrade selected weapons to their Mk II variants, and stock up on body armor, parachutes and gear. It also includes a gun locker for custom loadouts, plus free ammo and health pickups.

Its real value is convenience: you can restock and re-arm between contracts without ever leaving the building. Guests you invite into your Agency can use the Armory too, but they don't get your discount.

The Vehicle Workshop and Imani Tech

The Vehicle Workshop unlocks Imani Tech, a set of combat mods that can be fitted to a select group of vehicles.

Fitting all five costs GTA$ 1,217,000, but you rarely need everything. The standout is the Missile Lock-On Jammer: it blocks homing-missile lock-on from other players, which makes it one of the best anti-griefing tools in the game, and it's offered on a much wider set of vehicles than the other four mods.

Security Contracts: how they work and payouts

Security Contracts are the Agency's bread and butter. There are six mission types: Asset Protection, Gang Termination, Liquidize Assets, Recover Valuables, Rescue Operation and Vehicle Recovery. They run in Free Mode, and you must be registered as a VIP, CEO or MC President to start one.

Three contracts are offered on the office computer at a time, refreshing each time you log in, with a 5-minute cooldown between completions. Payout scales with difficulty:

Security Contract rewards and unlocks

Completing Security Contracts stacks up rewards beyond the payouts. Your first contract unlocks the Dr. Dre VIP Contract, three unlock Payphone Hits, and fifty earn you a desk trophy. On top of that, completing Security Contracts permanently raises your office Safe's daily income: the rate climbs in GTA$ 500 steps for every 5 contracts you finish, capping at GTA$ 20,000 per in-game day once you pass the 200-contract mark; the Safe holds up to GTA$ 250,000 before you need to empty it.

You also unlock discounted trade prices on four vehicles as you hit contract milestones: the Granger 3600LX, the Deity, the Patriot Mil-Spec and the Jubilee.

Payphone Hits and the Dr. Dre VIP Contract

These are the Agency's two other big active earners.

Payphone Hits are assassination missions Franklin sets up, the successor to Lester's Assassinations. Answer a ringing payphone, take out the target, and you earn GTA$ 15,000 plus a GTA$ 30,000 bonus for the leader if you do it the prescribed way, with a 10-minute cooldown between hits. They were rebalanced at one point: the bonus is smaller than it used to be, but the cooldown is much shorter, so you can run them far more often. Two of the hits (The Dealers and The Hitmen) need at least two players in your organization or MC.

The Dr. Dre VIP Contract is a multi-mission story that pays the leader GTA$ 900,000 on completion, and it's replayable from the Agency computer, paying GTA$ 900,000 again on each replay (with about a one in-game-day cooldown). If the host hasn't yet completed the finale in the current weekly period (resets Thursday), the leader earns GTA$ 1,099,800 instead, roughly 1.22 times the standard payout. Finishing it also puts a media stick on your desk, which unlocks a Media Player music mix, and opens up Short Trips: three two-player LD Organics missions paying GTA$ 50,000 on Normal or GTA$ 62,500 on Hard, now available to all players from the Jobs menu.

Is the Agency worth it?

Yes, if you like active work. Between Security Contracts, Payphone Hits and a replayable GTA$ 900,000 Dre contract, the Agency delivers solid active hourly money, and its two standout perks (the Armory's best-in-class utility and the Missile Lock-On Jammer's anti-grief protection) keep paying off long after the missions get familiar.

What it is not is a hands-off business. If you want set-and-forget money, look at our passive income guide instead. If you're in, keep it simple: buy Little Seoul, add the Armory and Vehicle Workshop, and skip the cosmetics.

Agency FAQ

How much does an Agency cost in GTA Online?

An Agency costs between GTA$ 2,010,000 (Little Seoul) and GTA$ 2,830,000 (Hawick), bought on the Dynasty 8 Executive website. Budget extra for the two functional upgrades: the Armory at GTA$ 720,000 and the Vehicle Workshop at GTA$ 800,000.

Which Agency is the best to buy?

Little Seoul, at GTA$ 2,010,000. All four locations have identical interiors and sit close together in Los Santos, so the cheapest, central option wins. There's no gameplay reason to pay more.

Can you make passive income with the Agency?

Yes, but it's modest and capped. The office Safe's daily income rises in GTA$ 500 steps for every 5 Security Contracts you complete, capping at GTA$ 20,000 per in-game day (about 48 real-time minutes) once you pass the 200-contract mark. The Safe holds a maximum of GTA$ 250,000 before you have to empty it, so it's a bonus, not a business.

Do you need the Armory?

It's optional but strongly recommended. For GTA$ 720,000 you get a private discounted Ammu-Nation with Mk II weapon upgrades, a gun locker, body armor, and free ammo and health pickups. Being able to restock between contracts without leaving the building saves a lot of time.

How much money can you make with the Agency?

Security Contracts pay GTA$ 31,000–70,000 each depending on difficulty, Payphone Hits pay up to GTA$ 45,000 with a 10-minute cooldown, and the Dr. Dre VIP Contract pays GTA$ 900,000 and is replayable, rising to GTA$ 1,099,800 for the leader when the host has not yet completed the finale that week. The office Safe adds up to GTA$ 20,000 per in-game day on top once fully built up.

Do you need an Agency to use Imani Tech?

Yes. Imani Tech mods are fitted in the Agency's Vehicle Workshop, a GTA$ 800,000 upgrade, so you need both the property and the workshop. Once fitted, upgrades like the Missile Lock-On Jammer stay on the vehicle.
