I keep hearing the term "business days" thrown around, but I’m not entirely sure what it means. Is it the same as regular calendar days, or are there specific days of the week considered business days?

Business days are the standard working days in a week, typically Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. They are used for official or commercial activities, such as banking, shipping, and customer service. If something is said to take "3–5 business days," it means it will happen within that many weekdays, not including Saturday or Sunday.
