This is a little bit of an exception in some ways, because it is possible to sort of start a whole new career in this regard without having it connect the whole lot of dots with the past. That said if you were to show that you have focus on consulting projects that relate to your past, or working for a consulting firms that specialize in areas in which you have experience, that would be ideal. When I say pass, I don't necessarily mean the same industry you worked in, but that you just have some kind of exposure experience datapoint volunteer experience something.
However mainly in the situation they will be looking for your overall Fitness as a candidate in management consulting. For example if you're going for mbb, do you have a GMAT of 720 Plus. Have you been working on case interviews? You will want to really get across that you're serious about this and that you've been doing your homework and research. Pick up a copy of Case in Point. Often candidates site management consulting as the career goal and it gets to be a little bit suspicious because so many people do it. Just make sure to show them that you have done your research you know what it takes to get where you need to be, and you know about the resources available at the school that can help you get there.
I do recommend that you apply to Kellogg, they have excellent strengths in both Consulting and family business. And the growth of scaling learning pathway which would be helpful to an entrepreneur. Wharton, also a good choice.
