Startups might thrive there, but business investment in England (particularly in mature businesses) has not exactly been lively ever since Brexit. I can't recall the last time I heard someone talking favorably about investing in England, or at all, really.

Or since the anti-corruption reforms of 2015-2018.

Which frustratingly overlap with Brexit, making it hard to tell whether this is “good driving business away” or “bad driving business away.”

  • First I've heard of this - which anti-corruption reforms?

    • UK Anti‑Corruption Plan 2014-2015

      Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 - outlawed bearer shares

      UK PSC Registry 2016

      Action Plan for Anti‑Money Laundering and Counter‑Terrorist Finance 2017-2022

      Money Laundering Regulations 2017

      Sanctions and Anti‑Money Laundering Act 2018

right, people will just tell you the best places and things to invest in ...
