Should I or shouldn't I

As is my habit, I've been procrastinating after I dumped the idea of applying to bschool last year and lo ! , this year's application process in on the cards already. The only thought that shot through all my nerves was - "God damn it, will I ever apply to b-school?" and still I can't decide if I want to.

On one hand, it seems to be the right time, and on the other, it doesn't seem to be.
I am the co-founder and a CTO of a tech startup, which is sustaining itself, although I can't say it's profitable. I am in a position where I know that an MBA would definitely take me to the next level, but I am worried about the business at hand. Will I be able to concentrate as much once I start the apping process? Will I be able to contribute if at all I go into a b-school? What if it's a 2-yr MBA, do I have to leave MY company?

I don't know how entrepreneurs decide when it's time for an MBA. Do I need to find a replacement for myself (I mean, can I trust someone to be my replacement, do the things I do the same way I wanted them to be done). Aah.. I definitely need some counselling here.
