Direct Line: Small business owners miss out on bank holiday

Direct Line has found that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of small business owners will not take a break this bank holiday weekend.

According to its research, small business owners take an average of just 13.3 days off a year, which is significantly less than the national statutory minimum of 20 days plus bank holidays.

The situation is worse for those who have been in business for less than six months, two thirds of whom have yet to take a single day off.

In terms of region, small business owners in the south of England were found to have taken the least days off, followed by the midlands and the north.

Kate Syred, head of Direct Line for Business, said: "It's clear that small business owners are working incredibly hard to ensure their ventures are a success."

Earlier this month, Direct Line Insurance launched policies for owners of small pub, restaurant and hotel businesses.
