Pub landlord Paul Slater said he is frustrated at the lack of information from the Welsh Government about when businesses might be able to reopen.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) wants more details about the conditions for lifting lockdown.
The Welsh Government said new variants of coronavirus mean it cannot provide as much certainty as they would like.

HOSPITALITY
Pubs and restaurant bosses face a battle for survival after being told they cannot reopen until April 12.
Up to six people from separate households could be able to meet then in beer gardens with no need to order food. Alcohol takeaways will also be available.
But food and drink will not be served indoors until May 17.
Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UK Hospitality, said apart from a couple of weeks in December, the sector will have been closed for nearly 200 days since November.
She said: This delay in reopening will make the job of survival all the more difficult for businesses only just clinging on to existence.
