Life after Brexit: Could corporate disillusionment spark a wave of entrepreneurship?
Britons are looking at the world differently to their grandparents
Millions of Brits are planning to become their own bosses as they respond to life after Brexit, survey findings have revealed, as younger generations consider starting a business more attractive than the corporate ladder.
A report from the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association found that 16 million Brits consider an entrepreneurial route to be more attractive than working for someone else, with 18 million believing that they have more opportunities to be a business leader than their parents or grandparents.
The study, which looked at how Brits perceive their wealth and career opportunities post-Brexit, also found that 15.3 million British people feel the government is more supportive than ever before to start and drive their own business forward.
Londoners were particularly bullish with 48% of people feeling they have more opportunities to become business leaders than their parents or grandparents. This compares with an average of 25% in the North.
