Somehow finances have to work, which is usually a harsh reality for some owners. Ex: Hey we can't have collective payout to investors totaling $10M this year without raises prices to above what customers are wiling to pay.



This is one of the main advantages owner operators have over PE funded or publicly traded businesses.


Also a reason that at least some (perhaps many?) franchise restaurants don't allow owner-investors, they must be owner-operators. McDonald's is one, at least they were last I knew.
