            Across London and many of the UK’s cities and towns, new office space has sprung up in an explosion of glass and steel structures like The Shard, The Salesforce Tower and The Gherkin.
With the referendum looming on 23rd June, there have been many polls asking UK voters how they will vote when faced with their ballot paper in the booth on the big day. But what do UK business owners think? Loc8 Commercial, the leading property broker, invited 500 UK small business owners to answer five simple questions on the Brexit argument.
            In recent weeks we have been bombarded with arguments from both sides of the Brexit debate regarding the benefits for UK businesses if we leave the EU or decide to stay.
            This year the level of office construction across London has soared to an all time high according to Deloitte Real Estates annual London Office Crane Survey.
            Over the years we’ve been asked time and again what makes the perfect office space. It’s a tough question because there are just so many factors to consider, so we always say “how long have you got”!
With just over six weeks to go until the referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU on 23rd June, the polls are suggesting the vote will be too close to call with a 50/50 split.
It’s only six weeks until the UK goes to the polls to decide if the country should remain in the European Union. On June 23rd people can decide to stay or leave after over 40 years of membership.
Here we ask UK business owners if they think Brexit will be good or bad for their businesses. We are particularly keen to hear the views of serviced office providers, flexible workspace providers and businesses who use these services.

            Why do people leave a business? It’s an old question that’s asked time and again. The problem of losing good people has blighted many businesses over the years and it’s widely accepted that the biggest single cost for all businesses is its people. So why is it that your best people just decide to leave?
            When you set out on your journey to find a new or alternative office space it’s easy to think that the process can be quick and simple. In the last ten years the number of flexible workspace providers has risen by 14%, helped by the rise of successful businesses like Wework, amongst others. Recent growth in London has been outpacing most of the rest of the UK, and with many providers also growing the number of locations they have on offer, the choice can feel a little overwhelming.
            You don’t have to be a FTSE 250 or a Fortune 500 company to have a contingency plan in place in case the worst should happen. More and more SME businesses are drafting their own business continuity (BC) plans to ensure their businesses continue even in the worst case scenario.
