A business day is considered every official working day of the week. Another common term is working day. Typically, these are the days between and including Monday to Friday and do not include public holidays and weekends.
The definition of a business day varies by region. It depends on the local workweek which is dictated by local customs, religions, and business operations. For example, in Saudi Arabia, the business day is usually Saturday to Wednesday, whereas in the United States and much of the Western world it is typically Monday to Friday.
Business days are commonly used by shipping companies when determining the arrival date of a package. If a firm such as FedEx ships a parcel on a Thursday that will be delivered in "two business days", it will therefore arrive on a Monday assuming that both Friday and Monday are not holidays.
