a business owner

Today, office suites are provided in many innovative structures. For example, if a small business owner conducts a large percentage of their business from a home office, but wishes to host out of town business associates in executive suites, virtual office suites may suit them. Virtual office suites offer meeting rooms, audio visual equipment, food and beverages, copying and faxing, and everything that a business owner needs, but it is leased on an as needed basis, which reduces overhead immensely. The business owner typically receives their own personal office suites address when signing a contract for services so the business owner essentially gets the complete image of a full time office suite.

A Business Owner would most likely put no smoking signs in a Hotel for example or any other Business, a Business Owner can also put signs for zero tolerance for Racism on the Employees part or the Guests at a Hotel, some people might not like that policy but if I were an Owner of a Hotel or another Business that's what I would do.

And again if guest at a Hotel don't like the no tolerance Poltcy for Racism a Business Owner might lose their costumers, but the way I see it is that if you can't respect Employees enough to say something nice about them then people shouldn't say anything at all. And one last thing, assuming I were a Hotel and Casino Owner for example I would also inform my Employees that if they chose to date each other they can but they should leave their personal lives at the door so their work performance won't be affected.

Another name for a small business owner is "proprietor." In the US, if the owner is doing business as an LLC, he is a "member."

The activity of the business is what generates money for the business and the owner will want to maximize income.
