Not sure why you specifically want to use strfind. You could loop through online players and compare their name/account IDs, using strcmp is more logical using this. For example:

pawn Code:

GetBusinessOwnerPlayerID(businessid)
{
      if(businessid < 0 || businessid > MAX_BUSINESSES || BizData[businessid][bizValid] == false)
                return false;

      new local_playerName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
      for(new i; i <= GetPlayerPoolSize(); i++)
      {
              GetPlayerName(i, local_playerName[i], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
              if(strcmp(local_playerName[i], BizData[businessid][bizOwner], true) == 0)
              {
                      return i;
              }
       }

       return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
}

Obviously adjust as needed. You could also get and store the players names as they connect for future reference rather than GetPlayerName (that's a method I personally use). You could also store business owners as account IDs and check those.
