Hi

You can make a good business on it, but only when you yourself are the owner.  ---maybe it's better to write: when you are the owner yourself.

Thanks

Hi,
can't make up my mind about which is better. I'd say both are ok, but you'll have to wait for a native speaker. I am interested in this question too.

No.  To my ear it's better as written originally.
