A major change such as going from a traditional job to establishing and growing a business can result in an extended gap in the employment history. It can be very difficult to briefly explain just what you were doing and the efforts involved as many different skills and situations can be involved. I have a very good education with a Bachelors is Engineering, a MBA and a long career in running many construction projects. Then I spent almost twenty years establishing, growing and then transitioning myself out of a business. There were other diverse things too. I still am a registered P. Eng. Try explaining what you have been doing for the last twenty years completely and concisely. The other very important thing is....I need a reasonable work/life balance and I still have enough committments to amount to about 1/2 time. It is not possible to retire and do absolutely nothing.....got anything which interests me???? A major transition. It does not fit neatly into a corporate structure.
