Abbey Business Banking: Entrepreneurs overworked

Thu 22nd Nov 2007

New research from Abbey Business Banking indicates that many owners of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are too busy to lead a healthy lifestyle.

A total of 28 per cent of respondents said they think their health has gone downhill as a result of too much work, while 27 per cent admitted they do not exercise because of their job schedule.

Ian Wilson, managing director of Abbey Business Banking, said that entrepreneurs' responsibilities "can sometimes have a detrimental effect on health".

"Running your own business is hard enough so, unlike other banks, Abbey offers business owners free day-to-day banking forever," he commented.

"We also offer 24-hour online banking for round the clock access to their accounts and have been rated top out of all business banks for on-line banking customer satisfaction by Finaccord's Small Business Metrics Survey."

Previous research from Abbey Business Banking found that 77 per cent of entrepreneurs did not want to go back to working for someone else.
