The UK's entrepreneurial performance reached a five year high in the lead up to the EU referendum.
According to Barclays' eighth Entrepreneurs Index, it increased by 10% since 2011, to an all time high, and is bouncing back after a decline in 2014.
It's not all good news though, the index warns of a lack of new scale up businesses and that uncertainty could harm growth.
