How do you indicate in a CV if you've been your own boss for a time and now you want to get into the employment?

@@Indeed yes I would like to get some tips. I am transitioning from self-employment to employment and writing a cv is giving me a challenge, the point is, I have never been employed since I left college but my businesses have previously done well. I am based in Kenya, Indeed has been very helpful to me.
