Nobody will care per se that you worked for yourself for a period. It's actually a very common thing, especially consulting and freelancing.
What will come up as a question, with entrepreneurship specifically, is why you stopped and are now job-seeking.
The answer they will want to hear will be something like "I decided that getting a job is more stable and is the best thing for me and my life situation right now."
A bad answer would be something like "we went bankrupt and now I need a job so I don't starve." Since that makes it sound like you're only job seeking to pay your bills for now, until you can save up some money and go back to doing what you actually want (being an entrepreneur).

This is super helpful, thank you! Is this coming from a strategic perspective or have you been the hirer or hiree in this situation?
