We employ 30 something people. About 50% are UK nationals, 30% EU, 20% rest of world on tier 2 visas. Historically, they've been fairly easy to get - we've never had an application refused, and when the home office do their surprise inspections, they're pretty laissez-faire. We had such an inspection a few weeks back - the assessor mentioned that we should go hell for leather on tier 2 hires now if we need them, as we're unlikely to be an eligible sponsor next year - it's being regeared to only be applicable for large (£10m+ turnover) businesses. The tories are not pro business. They are pro lining their and their chums pockets, and blindsiding the masses into electing them. The most pro-small-business initiatives have come from Brussels over the last decade, from R&D tax credits to a plethora of grants - and they want out of the EU because regulation hurts energy profiteering.
