Examples

You can use the parameter n to represent a shift of n business days.

>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 12, 9, 15)
>>> ts.strftime('%a %d %b %Y %H:%M')
'Fri 09 Dec 2022 15:00'
>>> (ts + pd.offsets.BusinessDay(n=5)).strftime('%a %d %b %Y %H:%M')
'Fri 16 Dec 2022 15:00'

Passing the parameter normalize equal to True, you shift the start of the next business day to midnight.

>>> ts = pd.Timestamp(2022, 12, 9, 15)
>>> ts + pd.offsets.BusinessDay(normalize=True)
Timestamp('2022-12-12 00:00:00')
