Your British competitors may have a harder time doing business on the EU market, now that they no longer profit from the EU trade treaties with countries such as South Korea or Canada.
Even if your business does not have direct dealings with the UK, your sector market may still be affected by Brexit. It has become more difficult for British competitors to be active on the European market. This offers opportunities for Netherlands-based companies that do business in other European countries. Brexit can also lead to more competition. Businesses from the Netherlands or other EU countries may go in search of other markets, because their dealings with the UK have become more difficult.
