Most are not company owners, they are generally self-employed types, singers, entertainers, or teachers. They earn their income directly from clubs, restaurants, or students. There is a minimum income requirement, and I'm not sure how much it is. In other words, if you don't make enough money while being self-employed, you may not be able to sponsor yourself for a visa.
What if I make less then what is needed to survive via a Japanese job but I make enough money because of a family business that runs in America which I get a percent of? Would they allow that would I just have to prove I have enough money to take care of myself and start a business?
