".....European businesses headquartered in the UK will be faced with a decision to either carry on operating a complex network of suppliers and customers in Europe from a non-EU country...." Really? Please do show me one of those mythical "European" companies then! The reality is that all those so-called "European" companies operate as individual companies in each country do they can take maximum advantage of local taxes, grants and laws. Being outside the EU might actually make for a massive advantage as ditching a lot of the ridiculous Brussels red tape could make the UK more attractive as a site for the HQs of so-called "European" companies.
