More than 10 million Brits1 dream of leaving their job and starting their own business, according to new research.
Over a third (35 per cent) of workers have recently thought about setting up on their own, with one in five of those planning to make the leap into self employment in the next year.
The average worker even spends three days of each year day-dreaming about their future business from their desk.
But while 15 per cent dream of becoming their own boss because they aren’t happy in their current job, 37 per cent admits the main reason is simply to earn more money than they do at the moment.
More than 40 per cent are thinking of starting up their own business because they crave more freedom in the way they work and a quarter want to turn a hobby into a paying business.
Rosemary French, of Business Link, which carried out the poll, said: ‘’It’s encouraging to see how many people dream of setting up their own business to enjoy the flexibility and benefits of working for themselves.”
“The research also showed that nearly as many women as men are keen to become their own boss.”
