UK Small Businesses on Brink of Collapse as 'Pandemic-Level' Pressures Mount

The country's decision to leave the European Union has had far-reaching consequences, including tariffs, trade agreements, immigration policies, and regulatory frameworks. According to a 2022 report by the UK's Office for National Statistics, business investment declined, with only 14% of firms reporting an increase compared to pre-Brexit levels.
