As Master of the City, Jean-Claude runs a number of business ventures under the umbrella of his corporation JC Corp. We learn in BB, that there is a corporate plane.

These are the known businesses that Jean-Claude has major or full controlling interest in.

Name:	Guilty Pleasures
Venue Type:	A male strip club where the strippers are primarily preternaturals. In GP it was referred to as the World's ONLY Vampire Strip Club. There were very few shapeshifters involved at that time.
Manager/Owner:	Jean-Claude/Nikolaos (in GP)
Other Information:	In GP, Jean-Claude appeared to be the manager of this venue. He became the owner when Nikolaos was killed and he became the Master of the City. "The sign was a wonderful swirling neon the color of heart blood. The symbolism was not lost on me." (Guilty Pleasures, page 11, paragraph 5)

Name:	Laughing Corpse
Venue Type:	Comedy Club
Manager/Owner:	Willie McCoy/Jean-Claude
Other Information:	Anita visits Jean-Claude here and sees a 'ventriloquist' act with a zombie that disgusts her. She can't understand the appeal. "The Laughing Corpse was one of the newest clubs in the District. Vampires are sexy. I'll admit that. But funny? I don't think so. Apparently, I was in the minority. A line stretched away from the club, curling around the block." (The Laughing Corpse, page 164, paragraph 3)

Name:	Danse Macabre
Venue Type:	A hip and modern dance club, where you can dance with a vampire, or were. The decorations are slightly abstract - with blow up dolls hanging from the ceiling.

Other Information:	Damian works there. The grand opening is in The Killing Dance, and there is an assassination attempt on Anita that night.

Venue Type:	Circus shows, side shows, zombie raisings.
Manager/Owner:	Owned by Nikolaos and then by Jean-Claude

This is also the daytime resting place of the city's main master vampires. "The clowns on the roof had fangs. I decided I wasn't that cold after all." (Circus of the Damned, page 30, paragraph 4)
