The entrepreneurs has the opportunities to benefit from tax advantages and deductions which is not readily available for the employees, thereby influencing their overall financial strategies.
The employees often have more predictable income than the business owners and this makes budgeting and financial planning a more straightforward thing compared to the income of a business owner that is not fixed.
