I also have this issue, affecting all retail stores, vet clinics and restaurants owned by playable sims in the world. In world map view the businesses still show the owners, but in live mode the owned business panel says "You do not own any Retails/Vet Clinics/Restaurants right now!".
If I visit the business lot with the sim that owns it, a bunch of random NPC sims arrive to run the business (even though I had no employees). I can interact with the employees and customers as if I own the business (e.g. for retail: greet, suggest options, answer questions etc.), but do not have access to the business funds, perks, management options etc.
I play on PC with no mods.
