I would suggest being prepared to talk about it if the interviewer asks about it.
You may or may not have featured it on your resume. It would depend if the fact that you have a small business adds to your experience or skill set and help place you as the ideal candidate for a specific job.
If you have a Linkedin profile, odds are that your business will be mentioned there. If you don’t have a Linkedin profile and/or your business isn’t mentioned there, then perhaps that may be one of the root causes of your financial challenges.
If your business is featured on your Linkedin profile, odds are that your interviewer will see it. Some job search experts are saying that some 93% of hiring managers are checking out social media to see if there are reasons to rule out job applicants.
If it isn’t brought up for discussion in the interview, I wouldn’t bring it up. If it does, the interviewer might be thinking about conflict of interest issues. Could the business take you away from working on your job or prevent you focusing on what they would be paying you to do?
You will need to develop answers for those types of questions.
It might also be a good time to see how you can make your business more profitable. I know several people who got jobs as a result of their business activities.

I scheduled a phone interview for 2:30 p.m. mountain standard Time and when I went back to my email to reconfirm whereas it was 10 minutes later than 2:30 already it reads please allow for a call within 30 minutes of the scheduled time. That seems strange to me.. and now we approach the last 5 minutes of that 30-minute window and still no hide no hair no phone call. Do I reach out to them after the 30 minutes is up or do I assume that I should move on and keep looking elsewhere?
