Regularity and quality of billable activities (streams) and psychological health and its stability are key factors in managing the girls. Indies without such support structure can fall into irregularity, going full yab mode, or become just plain boring.
Then you have the design, production, marketing, and selling of the merchandise, which all needs to be followed up on and needs input from the girls and many 3rd party contractors (which immediately means you need an administrative office team alongside the creative roles).
Then, you have the scheduling, preparation, and execution of large scale events like concerts, or meet & greets at conventions. This, too, takes a whole bunch of office work alongside the actual practice of the talents.
Lastly you still need the actual business management, in sense of "ok how do we make money and how do we spend the money to make more money", which are things the girls have absolutely nothing to do with (nor should they).

I quite like Nanoha's characterization in the new manga. Just straight vibin'.
