Does owning your own business on work permit, count towards Express entry points?

I am planning on running my business for 1 year under Noc 0125 and then apply for PR under express entry. Will 1 year experience count towards my express entry profile points?

Yes, it will count as work experience. However as a self employed person, you will not qualify under CEC.

Make sure you pay yourself a full salary.
