After the
Confederation of British Industry (CBI) attempted to register with the
Electoral Commission as a group supporting a "no" vote in the referendum, several organisations resigned or suspended their membership of the CBI in order to maintain their neutrality.
[335] The CBI had its registration annulled,
[336] with its director saying that the attempt to register had given the misleading impression that it was a political entity.

A compilation of "doubters" by Better Together and journalist Simon Johnson was published by the
Daily Telegraph on 24 March 2014.
[375] It listed individuals and organisations who have raised concerns about Scottish independence, although they have not necessarily expressed outright opposition.
[375] During the financial reporting season in early 2014, several companies (including
Aggreko ,
Lloyds Banking Group ,
Barclays ,
Standard Life ,
Royal Bank of Scotland ,
Macfarlane Group and
Breedon Aggregates ) listed Scottish independence as an issue in their risk management sections.
[376]
Businessmen, including
Sir Tom Hunter and
Sir Tom Farmer , called for more clarity in the referendum debate to best make a decision.
[377]
In 2012, the
Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) published a report called A Just Scotland , which laid out "challenges for both sides of the debate", in particular calling on Better Together to "outline a practical vision of how social and economic justice can be achieved within the union".
[378] The STUC had previously refused an offer to join the Better Together campaign.
