What's Happening?
HeyBRB, an AI automation consultancy, has launched the HeyBRB Admin Drain Tracker, a free Chrome extension designed to quantify the cost of administrative tasks for UK small business owners. The extension calculates the time spent on admin tasks and translates
it into a monetary value, based on findings from HeyBRB's 2026 UK Admin Drain Report. The report revealed that small business owners lose an average of 10 to 15 hours per week to admin tasks, costing them between £500 to £750 weekly. The extension aims to provide business owners with insights into their admin costs, enabling them to optimize their time and resources.
