you are a busy man vs you are a very busy man

Both sentences are correct, but they convey different levels of busyness. 'You are a busy man' implies that the person is generally busy, while 'You are a very busy man' emphasizes a greater degree of busyness. The choice between the two depends on how strongly you want to convey the idea of busyness.
