How does being in business and being employed with an F-1 visa work?
As an F-1 student, you are able to start a business but you are not permitted to derive any income in the US unless you are specifically authorized for employment.  As such, you can reinvest all the money you receive back into the business and the business can hire others who will get paid if they are authorized to work.  I would strongly suggest that YOU not take any income so that it does not impact on your future ability to immigrate to the US.
