I operate a small business with 3 employees, I'm certainly incentivised to fend for us.

jnwatson worded my actual arguments better than I would.

You're not fending for a small business with 3 employees, which anyway, let's be serious can't afford any fancy tax shenanigans, you're fending for a big business with several thousand employees.

This company had a record revenue year and yet they decided to cut 800 jobs.

Wasn't there a complete town in UK who went to offshore all of their assets? A quick search delivered me this source [1].

Dunno, I feel that as a small business it is much easier for us to minimize our tax burden than it would be for a larger business.

Much easier for 4 friends working together to relocate than it is for a big business with thousands of employees. We've got far more tools at our disposal.
