Should I put my business on my resume?

Hello,

I am a transfer applicant trying to transfer into the biology program at another university. I am currently creating my resume for transfer and I noticed the college requires a “work experience” portion of the resume. I run a business with a friend and I was wondering if I should put that on my resume. I haven’t really had a job because I have been focused on running my business. The business involves creating websites and marketing on social media for businesses (which is a hobby of mine) and I have been working on it for a year. I have developed great social skills and time management skills while running the business. In terms of legality, we have an LLC and everything so it is official. I was wondering if I should put it on my resume or not because I don’t want the college to think I am “too” focused on running the business.

Sounds like the co-running of your business would be a very important thing for you to include.

Yeah my only fear is that colleges think I am too focused on the business and I don’t focus on school enough. But my GPA is decently high so I doubt that will be the case right?

I would not have that fear at all.
