That’s the same “clever ploy” the banks have all been implementing since the ballots were counted. As long as you have a subsidiary registered in an EU State you avoid most of the red tape. The reality however is that actually doing that is itself an excessive burden for many businesses.

The primary opportunity here is in the fact that small EU businesses now face the same barriers to trading here. It should be easier for British businesses to sell here without competition from EU ones. And, especially where what’s being sold is cheap Chinese tat that’s already sailed halfway round the world, it’s better for the environment if it’s warehoused and sold within the UK rather than being held somewhere outside Rotterdam or Frankfurt and then sent over here on fleets of HGVs.
