3 business days means 3 weekdays — Monday through Friday — skipping every weekend in between. Counted from today (August 10, 2026), that lands on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Business-day deadlines are the standard for bank transfers, court filings, shipping estimates, and HR processes precisely because they don't shrink when a weekend intervenes. Note that public holidays are not subtracted here, since they vary by country: if a holiday falls inside your span, push the date out by one weekday per holiday.
