Analyzing UK Business Potential Post-Brexit: A 2020 Market Overview

This essay examines the anticipated consequences of Brexit on UK business organizations in 2020. Initially, the United Kingdom, formerly a key member of the European Union, faced restrictions imposed by EU regulations, hindering trade with non-EU countries and limiting business expansion. Brexit aimed to remove these obstacles, yet it presents challenges such as resource scarcity and reduced capital. Conversely, Brexit facilitates easier trade policies, strengthens international relations, and enables technology imports at competitive rates. These benefits promote globalization, increase revenue through foreign direct investment, and position the UK to potentially become one of the fastest-growing economies by 2020, continuing through 2050. The analysis concludes that UK businesses possess significant growth potential by 2020, capable of overcoming challenges and becoming global leaders.

Summary
United Kingdom earlier a part of European Union is a well-known country for its second-highest
contribution in the EU’s budget. At the time UK being a member of EU is regulated by the laws
and regulations designed by EU and with the total control in the hands of EU, Britain witnesses
that the business organisations are facing complication in the way of progress as the EU do not
allow to trade with other countries and also not allow the organisation to extend its business
operations in the countries that are not the part of EU (O'Reilly, et. al., 2016).
For the removal of restrictions and hurdles from the way of business progress, United Kingdom
decided to withdraw its membership from EU. The decision of withdrawal from the membership
results in the formation of contract and it is known as Brexit as it defined that exit of Britain
from EU. After the withdrawal, it has been assumed that the business organisation can move on
the path of progress but it brings severe consequences for the business organisations such as lack
of supply of limited resources and low capital available with the business. Along with the severe
challenges, Brexit brings various benefits also such as easy trade policies, increasing relationship
with other countries, and imports of technology at best rate. The benefits brought by Brexit
results in the easy trade that allows UK to identify other exported of resources at best rate so that
the production and manufacturing process can be strengthened again in the presence of low
capital. Moreover, the separation from EU allows UK to import technological advancements
such as broadband facility and low carbon production. Both the technology results beneficial by
pushing the organisations on the way of progress as the broadband facility enable the
organisations to widen its business operations and have a great control over its management
(Bbc, 2017). Further, the low carbon emission technology also helps the organisation to
manufacture in a manner that results in less wastage of resources and high-quality production
that increases the demand for organisation in the world.
With the help of Brexit only, the globalisation has become possible as otherwise UK will not be
allowed to trade with other parts of the world. With the globalisation, the revenue collected by
UK either from foreign direct investment or business units operating outside the country has
increased significantly. It has been forecasted with the help of growing GDP trend that UK will
gain an identity of the fastest growing economy in the world by 2020 that will continue to grow
1

by 2050 with the increasing rate (Wintour, 2016). All of the rises is in GDP has taken place
because of the trading and business process and thus it has been concluded that UK’s business
organisation holds a great potential to extend its market by 2020 and the organisation can be the
world’s leading organisation by eliminating all the barriers and challenges considering the
situations prevailing in the country.
