If the EU fizzles, then said business will have to conform to like 8 or 9 different standards instead of like ... one? I don't really see how that's better. 

If the EU fizzles, it will make no difference. The argument is -

In the EU = loads of legislation designed for all EU members are making it difficult for UK small businesses to compete.

Out of the EU = no EU legislation. Businesses only have to comply with UK law.

Yeah but I'm assuming they probably want to sell to a broader Euro market. Britain is an island, big businesses are not playing with small potatoes. The population of England is 50 million, the population of Europe is 742 million.

No one wants to do business in Europe if there's like 20 different standards and regulations and currencies. No one gives a crap that Europe was the hot shit 100 years ago. 

People will just go invest in India or China or the US or Japan or Canada or whatever. 

Like I said too this pretty much will likely inadvertantly lead to the end of the UK itself, so that's basically the only really different the UK will get out of it (there won't be a UK anymore).
