"Passive income" is the ultimate goal for those looking to own a business. Absentee ownership gives business owners the freedom to spend their time on other opportunities, or on leisure and recreation, while their business operates and generates income without their management. "Semi-absentee" owners manage their businesses with very little time, stepping in only when necessary, or spending a few hours per week on administrative duties.
