Using the cursor keys, edit the program lines 1514 and 2547 to read as follows :
1514 NEXT
NW=150+INT(RND*200)
NW=INT(NW/AP)
NV=200+INT(RND*300)
NV=INT(NV/AP)
AI=5000000pound sign+INT(RND*(500000pound sign/AP))
NF=(5000+INT(RND*3000))/AP
NP=INT(NP+NA+NF)
GOTO 332
2547 GOSUB 2548
IF RA=9 AND AI>300000pound sign OR AI>1500000pound sign THEN ]2547
GOTO 2548
]2547: RA=INT(AI/5000)

In line 1514 making AI equal 5,000,000 provides $5M starting budget; this can be changed to suit, however Line 2547 making RA=INT(AI/5000) stops the directors from withdrawing too much cash every week.
