Business Day is a Nigerian business publication

A business day is a duration of time standardized to the seven-day work week, used to differentiate calendar days, based on a seven-day week, from the time period when a company is in operation.

Business days are common measurements in companies with time-sensitive services, such as shipping or payment processing. Usually, Saturdays and Sundays are not counted as business/working days. As an example, when sending a package with a shipping company such as FedEx, a Thursday shipment that gets delivered in "two business days" will arrive on the following Monday.

[edit] Shifts and Trends

The introduction of flex time, introduces the internet, as a more easily globalized and outsourced workforce. The notion of a business day has come under a certain degree of challenge. Information-based companies with a limited dependence on physical goods have less of a need to distinguish a weekend day from a weekday and indeed to many, there is no difference at all.
