I am afraid that there is only one practical answer to this very frustrating question.
If one does not have the time to invest in a small business venture there is no good sense in even getting started.
If a prospective affiliate has money and no time I would suggest any number of excellent ways to invest it. Stocks, IRA, 401k, real estate, bonds of various sorts. And, oh yes, I certainly am not the one to be giving financial advice but there sure are many who can.
One thing for certain is that most people who have money probably are businessmen anyway and very surely understand the time commitment necessary to any business.
