I might be wrong, but don't entrepreneurs usually need long stay visas to do long term work? An athlete/performer visa only allows you to stay for the duration, only. Hardly any residency.

True, but I'm sure we can hack it:

"Individual Athlete - Time needed to complete the event, competition or performance, not to exceed 5 years

Individual Athlete –Increments of up to 5 years in order to continue or complete the event, competition or performance.

Total stay is limited to 10 years."
