Also EU citizen living here for 2 years (so not entitled to the permanent residency). I own a UK company and pay my share of taxes. Still I'm scared I'm going to be asked to leave at some point.

Also, if I go visit my family on the continent, am I going to be able to come back ?

The UK Prime Minister has said that she actually wants EU citizens to remain in the UK post-Brexit, but it is dependent on similar rights being granted to UK citizens in EU countries. It's not a decision wholly up to the UK.

Most likely, the system of permanent residence status will remain in place for the next 5 years plus some buffer: https://www.gov.uk/eea-registration-certificate/permanent-re...

I agree that, if I were you, I'd be nervous about any trip abroad within the next 3 years.

Work Permit in UK is quite open for non-EU workers. Stop freaking out. Unless you are a waiter or dish washer.

Are you sure about that? Do you know what the requirements are?

Yes, first hand. They have everything on the government websites. As long as you have a sponsor and not working on something trivial you are safe.
