Three new purchasable Money Fronts businesses have been added to GTA Online with the 1.71 Money Fronts Update in June 2025.
These form a network of interconnected front businesses designed to help players launder criminal profits while maintaining the appearance of legitimate operations.
Kicking off with the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry, players can expand into additional fronts like Smoke on the Water and Higgins Helitours, each offering passive income and bonuses tied to existing enterprises like Weed Farms and Air Freight Cargo.
These businesses generate increasing law enforcement attention - known as "Heat" - requiring players to manage the legal side of their enterprises to keep a low profile and maintain the illusion of legitimacy.
