Hello,

As a business owner who can't obviously use a supervisor for a recommender, you still have some good options. You might use a key customer in a business relationship, someone from a company that you partner with, a mentor from another business, a former supervisor if you worked earlier at a company, and/or (if you do significant volunteering) someone from a volunteer organization where you have a substantial role. The adcoms will understand your situation - but it's still helpful to add a few sentences in the optional essay explaining why you can't use a supervisor and also why you are choosing those particular people.

Best regards,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
