60% of UK businesses state that leaving the EU will not have a negative impact for them.
According to the recent Business Census conducted by Creditsafe, only a third of British businesses (35%) say that leaving the EU has already had a negative impact for them. 7% of businesses are unsure about what to expect and how it will affect them.
When asked how optimistic they are about the UK economy in 2019, votes were split almost three ways, with 30% saying they were optimistic, 30% saying they were not and 40% unsure either way. Expectations for the new year are unclear, to say the least.
Looking ahead to 2019, sentiment is overall positive, with 90% of businesses expecting to grow in the coming year. 10% were unsure of whether they would grow, likely a result of ongoing uncertainty around our place in the EU.
