Wow! Fantastic profile. Can I recommend you look into Sloan Fellows or Stanford MSx? These may be more fitting FT programs that attract more experienced candidates.

P.S. Are you OK taking a 2-year break or 18 month break from your Businesses?

I think many MBA programs would love to have you, but I think many of them would also love to see you in their EMBA class - you have a great and strong profile. Have you considered EMBA potentially? That would allow you running your business and fly in for classes once a month while networking with other more experienced candidates looking for Exec promotions. The admission path would be significantly easier and you could count on programs such as Booth, Kellogg, and Wharton EMBA's for example, but they would not give you F1 visa or OPT after graduation on the flip side.

Will try to give me 2 cents based on your situation, guessing your business is located in the UK? In that case why not think of some solid programs in the UK like LBS, Oxbridge, IMD etc. They will give you access to local alumni that can play an important role in helping you expand your business, plus you will be closer and can take a passive role in running it from campus (maybe appoint someone else in the transition period)
For mid career professionals i.e. 10years+ work ex, the options are fairly limited to Stanford MSx and MITSF, Emory 1 year and USC IBEAR are other programs open to folks with significant exp. Your experience in the FT class may not meet your expectations as those typically tend to attract folks from 3-8 years of work ex. EMBA tends to be over the weekend / weekday so no point doing cross continent travel.
