In the last couple of weeks more than 1,400 companies have changed their corporate addresses, leaving Catalonia and registered somewhere else (in Spain). The main driver behind these moves is the fear of future (legal and political) instability that the independence crisis might bring and already brought about.

Although economic consequences are not to be immediately expected, the reputational damage for the Catalan independence movement is considerable. Mainly because  during its independence campaign it apparently grossly underestimated the current scenario and now when this exit is in full swing, it does not have an appropriate reaction or explanation to counter it.
