in what does a founder, creator, owner, investor etc. have to make payments for before he/she desides the money is his/hers? im talking about business related though, not personal like car, house, phone, payments cause i know thats from the money they keep. im talking about like paying their workers, paying the restuarants (or depending on what store, fast food, they own), etc. after they need to pay for all the job relating, how much do they keep? well i dont need to know how much they make just the stuff (not the price for the payments) they have to pay before deciding the money is theres, anyone know what i mean? thanks
