is it safe to upload owned community lot businesses?

[Toast]

A few people have requested I upload my family business to the exchange but it's still owned by my legacy family and I have no desire to sell it and then struggle to get it back up to Level 10 again. Before I upload it I just want to make sure there is no problem with random files and crap tagging along with an owned business, like it does with an occupied residential lot. I don't want to break anyone's neighborhood.

Owned community lot businesses will upload as ordinary community lots, so it should be safe.

I've been wondering the same thing for a while. "should be safe" isn't 100% convincing - even from Pes...  I'd been thinking that the way to work was to package the lot "as is" to file and look at it with CI.  If you clean it up in CI and then re-install  it into an empty hood (having taken out your hacks and un-needed CC), you should be able to see if it looks like a potential disaster or a normal community lot.  Package/Upload it to the exchange from there and then try it out in game.  The nice thing about the exchange is that you can take things down again!
