SME's look for Brexit dividend

Small firms look forward to Brexit dividendHitachi Capital's quarterly business confidence survey reveals that over 40% of small businesses expect to see growth with nations outside of the European Union this year. It found that 32% of SMEs believe they will see significant growth with non-EU partners, while a further 10% thought that they would see modest growth. More than half believed Brexit could lead to more government support and around half thought there would be less red tape to deal with. Hitachi Capital Business Finance managing director Gavin Wraith-Carter said: "Over the course of the last few years we have asked how they have been feeling about Brexit and, contrasting to the wide-ranging - even exhaustive - national debates, small businesses have been remarkably calm and pragmatic, just wanting to get on with running their ventures."
