They might also be optimizing for taxes by heavily re-investing, charging personal stuff on the expense account (like car/gas/travel)... That makes it look like they are doing badly while they are doing okay.

This would be clearly visible to investors because the company is accumulating assets.

1. It's unlikely investors are looking into small lifestyle businesses.

2. The company isn't going to accumulate many assets if the owners are paying for gas, travel, food, and rapidly depreciating assets.
