\u201cI asked if anyone had a problem, and they never did,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order for me to continue running the businesses, the babies needed to come with me wherever I went. So I always needed to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah and her husband Michael have now set off on a year-long adventure across the globe, along with their children \u2013 Minnie, 10, Monti, eight, Nelly, six and five-year-old Marly.<\/p>\n

Can't believe I'm stood at this door!…. I was SO excited to be there today! Fantastic meeting at no10! One step closer to getting financial education into primary schools! \u00f0\u009f\u0091\u008a\u00f0\u009f\u0091\u008a<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old, who made her fortune with restaurant chain Bombay Bicycle Club, told Hello! magazine: \u201cFor me, as a mum, this is such a precious time with the kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey still think we\u2019re cool, they still choose us over their mates and I feel I\u2019m bottling a period of our life that we\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family have started their travels in Canada, but the children will be educated along the way, joining schools and also being home-schooled. <\/p>\n

\u201cHow could you not come back enriched?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so open to new experiences, I think a lot will influence us. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll laugh and cry more than we ever expected to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah has appeared in BBC Two series Dragons\u2019 Den since 2015.<\/p>\n
