British traders keep toe in EU market by setting up in ESTONIA
The innovative Baltic nation became the first country in the world to offer 'e-residencies' in 2014, allowing entrepreneurs to open businesses within the EU and run them remotely from their home country.
Aplications for a "trans-national government-issued digital identity" can be made via the website howtostayin.eu, at a cost of £112 per applicant.
Since Britain voted to leave the EU last year, the number of applications coming from the UK has shot up, from just three a week to more than 50.
Programme director Kaspar Korjus told AFP: "The UK may have chosen to leave the EU, but its entrepreneurs can still choose to remain inside the EU's business environment."
