This country exists by trading. Much of it financial services. And so

UK for its headquarters?

because foreign banksters (and their wives) like to live in London

They do. Because it's a cosmopolitan city. Exactly why the little
Englanders on here hate it so much. As well as it being rather left wing,
of course. If they get their way and change England back into some
fortress where only white UK born are welcome, you'll be left with only UK
controlled industry and financial services. Ie, near zero.

Frankfurt and Zurich just don't have the "pull"

Not since they are on level terms with London, all being in the EU.
But if England pulls out, you can guarantee things will stay the same?

You can't guarantee that it will stay the same if Britain stays either.

Put it this way. You are in charge of a multinational company with a head
office in a country you've chosen as being the best for your business.
That country then makes a major change in its relationship with a large
part of your market. Would you be happy to just continue as is - or would
you review your options?

They review their options even when there hasn’t been a major change,
mostly to base themselves where they get the best deal on taxation etc.
