 * All actions performed within the scope of this mode, will be executed
 *  on behalf of the company you switched to. This includes any costs
 *  attached to the action performed. If the company does not have the

 * If the company is not valid during an action, the error
 *  ERR_PRECONDITION_INVALID_COMPANY will be returned. You can switch to
 *  invalid companies, or a company can become invalid (bankrupt) while you
 *  are switched to it.
