How long a week do small businesses work?...

One thing I notice is the great variety in jobs and working patterns that people here undertake.

However I get the impression that most people work pretty hard most of the time and probably take less holidays than those employed by someone else's company.

Purely out of interest, has a study been done working out how many hours the average small business owner works per week compared to a standard company employee? Would be interesting to read and I imagine the small business owner is working significantly longer

Hi Lianne

I suspect you are right in thinking that the average small business owner works significantly longer hours than your Average Joe, perhaps even one that works in The City and tries to do macho hours, as it were.

If you dig around long enough searching you will probably find some study to back this up but don't know of any off hand I am afraid.
