No, it is not typically advised to use corporate income for personal gain. This can result in a multitude of legal and financial concerns, as well as putting your business at danger. It is essential to keep personal and corporate funds separate.
Of course the business owner has the right to use the business profit for their own personal use, but the business owner also works and deserves a reward or salary, which is slightly higher than that of his employees, and the business owner's salary will be recorded as an expense that reduces profits, but if you use company assets, or profits will be recorded as personal use and reduced capital.
Yes definitely a business owner can use his or her profits when he or she need them.
Very often, the owner gets a salary from his/her company. If the company is making profits, s(he) can get bonus or dividends. However, if the owner is taking money from the business other than his/her salary or dividend, s(he) should make a proper record in the account books of the company.
The business profit is your own and you can use it for anything you want.
