Absentee Owner

A business owner who is not personally involved in the management or operations of a business.

Tips

The application of this term varies; some refer to business owners as absentee owners if they spend a minimal amount of time in the business, while others reserve this definition for when a business owner has no involvement at all. Absentee owners are more vulnerable to theft by employees unless proper internal controls are implemented in the business.
