If you’re a business owner though, the situation is a little more complex. Following Theresa May’s formal declaration of the UK’s intention to depart the EU, many business owners find themselves nervously refreshing the mI ajor news websites for information on how Brexit will impact their livelihoods. Depending on the sources you refer to, you’ll get a very different picture of the future, but the following guide gives a rough outline of what to expect. Employees from the EU Around three million non-UK EU citizens are currently living in the UK – 80% of whom are in work. Currently, it’s not clear how the status of these people will be affected after Brexit has been finalised; however, it may be that many European employees are given no choice but to return home. Going forward, EU citizens coming into the UK for the first time are unlikely to enjoy
