At what point can you put a small business or side hustle on your resume?

I wrote a lot more but I realized that it was way too long.

tl;dr: You own a clothing business that has revenue between $30K and $40K. The business is cut and sew, where each garment is sewn separately and sold one-of-one. The business has a unique way of making garments using embroidery and sustainable fabrics.

Do you put it on the resume or leave it off? Does it go in the interests section, or is it worthy of being under work experience? 

This is for someone who is applying for an MBA, and already has a blue chip name on the resume.
