It's possible that they will absorb some of the increased costs, it depends on how competitive the market is. For its App store,
Apple recently increased prices by 25% but not all companies will be able to push through such increases.
If the UK was able to sign a free trade deal with say a country like South Africa or Malaysia, it's possible that the UK could be supplied by those countries instead. Multinationals like GM and BMW have a bit of flexibility here.
I guess another issue is how price-sensitive buyers or leasers are. Corporate buyers may be more reluctant to take on increased costs when they are already facing other increased costs.
