Obviously, we are very unlikely to be in the EU for much longer so, from a business perspective, working for an international company, selling to other international companies, being in a customs union and single market would be ideal. Hopefully having some say in those would be great! Doing business with non-EU/EEA countries is a massive pain.

 That would be my stance too.
To clarify - discussing the negative impacts that Brexit is cited to bring or has brought is not some kind of conspiracy to thwart Brexit. What I find particularly interesting is how the Irish border can be solved. That tin can has been well and truly kicked down the road and because it's not being discussed right now, doesn't mean it's gone away. A hard Brexit would mean a hard border no ifs and buts and maybes. Theresa May has promised no hard border but David Davis has now said that a hard Brexit is a possibility. So many contradictory statements from our government.
