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.

You can use your profit or some already set percentage from your profit but never take more than that but reinvest the amount then your business will grow further.

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.

You should use some of your profit for personal use and you should invest some of it in your business while saving some at the same time

 

[cherry123]

But the business was started so that one can benefit from the profit so it no deal using it for personal use.

This is not a good thing. It needs to separate the personal expenses from operational expenses.

I do not use my earnings for my personal intentions. In case, cannot be avoided, I have to keep a record to refund what I spent.

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.
