>I said that most pre-GC work-permits (e.g. H1B) don't allow you to own a US-based business

You can absolutely own a US-based business on a H1B, like you can buy shares in companies, it's just a 100% share. You just cannot work for your company without having an approved H1B from that business or having some other generalized work permit like an EAD.

I think that this might be the accurate take:

That you are not allowed to work for a business (even if you own it) without a work-permit to work for it.
