business owner also known as an entrepreneur , when someone owns a business ( usually a large business ) but has a system in place that is proven reliable for 4 or 5 years , then the business owner who created the company and its system may eventually leave the business to run on its own and yet make even more money because he or she ( the business owner ) is not there but is out either opening anther franchise of that business or starting a different one while someone trustworthy keeps the first business running profitably .
