The briefing
Purchase an MC Clubhouse first, register as President and use its laptop to open the business network. Buy a Cocaine Lockup, then complete its setup so production can begin. The source favors the central Great Chaparral Clubhouse as a practical travel base, while the lockup itself is a separate purchase.
The listed sites are Alamo Sea at GTA$975,000, Paleto Bay at GTA$1,098,000, Elysian Island at GTA$1,462,500 and Morningwood at GTA$1,852,500. Their locations alter your journeys; a higher building price alone does not establish a higher product price.
The upgrade table distinguishes equipment, staff and security. Equipment plus staff costs GTA$1,325,000 in the cited figures and changes production value, while security serves a different purpose. Supplies can be bought or obtained through resupply work. Compare the remote sale value against supply spending and the time needed to deliver it, rather than treating the largest gross payout as money kept.
