I wouldn't say so. I haven't met anyone in the UK running a business who would try to keep that fact under wraps. It's more that running a business isn't seen as more deserving of respect than not running a business, and anyone expecting respect from the general population for simply running a business will usually get short-shrift in return. It's therefore not a card which would normally be played.Going a bit afield here, but it seems to me that in the US, being a business gains you respect (i.e., is something you want to broadcast), but in the UK (and probably elsewhere), the opposite is true (and thus you want to keep it under wraps).
Have I got that right?
