Depends on the business, and what you're doing - but it's more or less:

- Support

- Sales - any number of sales-related things like optimising the sales pipeline or even managing sales staff if you're B2B

- Marketing and PR

- Business - things like dealing with raising money, finance, accounting, trying to negotiate the lawyers fees down, fixing up the license agreement you originally wrote...

- Finding Staff - if you're doing well, you might need to hire. It takes a lot of time up, and it's a huge decision each time.

- Managing staff - this takes a LOT longer than you think it would, i'd say between 40-80% of your time gets taken up by managing staff when you get to 3 staff.

- Product development if you're lucky
