Would be interesting to hear as ive never been affected other than not having to queue for a visa when in europe.
Obviously free trade macroeconomics etc is great, but i would like to hear of some actual "ihad to sell straight bananas"
Yea, as a small business the EU makes it a **** ton easier to export to Europe. I am dreading a leave vote as it could destroy all my current export channels/processes over night. Sure I can rebuild them, but it will be a massive PITA and no doubt cost me monies.
People moan about the bureaucracy of the EU but my personal experience is the very inverse of that. Exporting to countries outside of the EU as a small business is really paper work and regulation detail intensive.
Exporting in the EU in contrast is simplicity itself.
