When business success complicates a close friendship

My best friend and I started a business together two years ago and we're finally successful, but success has meant we hardly see each other outside of work anymore and when we do it's hard not to talk shop, and I miss my friend but I don't know how to separate the person I love from the person I depend on professionally.
