Post Brexit Business Environment: How Does the UK Compare with the EU?

Some businesses in the UK are considering relocation to minimise the impact of Brexit. While the decision relies on a number of issues, a conducive business environment is an important consideration.

The UK has a clear advantage over other European countries when it comes to stock market activity as well as offering a cheaper operating environment, more business freedom and a lower regulatory burden

Germany offers a larger skilled workforce in addition to an efficient logistics framework in comparison to the UK

The EU has a clear advantage when it comes to the overall market size, upstream supply chain and components used by UK businesses for manufacturing high-tech machinery

The technological infrastructure is highly sophisticated in both the UK and leading European economies, but the UK has no clear lead over its European counterparts
