Then SLC has to get clearance from the ICC, if not the LPL won't be recognized by the governing body. Most cricket boards will not issue the NOC if the tournament is not recognized by the ICC. I think this is the process, whether SLC bigwigs get any benefits from the franchise owners is a different matter.
Does ICC do background checks on owners of LPL teams?
Feel like that would be the responsibility of the cricket board organizing it.
Not really, When they had GT20 Canada, it was ICC sanctioned and one of the owner was a lotto winner that ran multiple failed businesses.
