Business owners get a real 'buzz' out of running their companies according to the UK Business Barometer.
Respondents to the UK Business Barometer survey single out the most exciting things about being an owner manager as: 'control of one's own destiny', 'success', 'freedom', 'challenge', 'satisfaction', 'profit' and 'winning'.
The parallel UK Business Adviser Barometer (UKBAB) survey posed the question about the biggest problems experienced by business owners day to day. The top three responses were market conditions, reported by 32 per cent, time pressure, cited by 22 per cent, and government red tape, which was highlighted by 16 per cent of respondents.
When asked about the single most important factor for stimulating business, 34 per cent of respondents said a 'low administration burden', while 27 per cent said 'low interest rates'.
