From long weekends to disrupted routines: how bank holidays impact business – and how to stay ahead

Bank holidays are a double-edged sword for UK businesses. For some, they’re a golden opportunity for promotions, footfall and morale boosts. For others, they bring disruption to operations, supply chains, and customer service.

The benefits? A surge in sales, energised teams and a chance to get creative with offers. The downsides? Staffing struggles, lost productivity and revenue gaps for businesses that rely on consistent output.

At Evolve, we understand that even a well-timed long weekend can strain cash flow. If you’re feeling the pinch before or after a bank holiday, our tailored funding options – from invoice finance to working capital loans – can help smooth out the bumps and keep your momentum going.
