Small Business Owners Have To Sacrifice Family
Posted by Raphael Giacardi on
Four hundred owners took part in this study carried out by accounting software company, KashFlow. The results showed 32% believed family time was the biggest sacrifice they had to make to ensure the success of their business. The survey is proof of the difficulties in finding a good life/work balance when running a small company.
Duane Jackson, managing director at KashFlow, says, “The research was commissioned to help us gain a better understanding of the personal sacrifices small businesses are undertaking to ensure success. The findings have provided a valuable insight into what measures can be taken in order to assist small businesses with their struggles.”
The research also showed that 18% of small business owners thought their disposable income was decreasing. Eight percent said that they haven't had a holiday for years and five percent believed they had less of a social life since starting their company.
