It's not like Scotland is voting on starting a civil war. Most things will be as they are now until they are changed, which will take time. It's going be at least a decade before things start to look significantly different. And since stability is in the interest of all business, I don't see the UK government creating that much trouble either. After all, both sides will have CEO's to answer to, and all the CEO's will want everything to go as smoothly and uneventfully as possible, because business.

Changing currency, loading all economic trade agreements leads to a lot of uncertainty. This brush you're painting with glosses over an awful lot of things. The US trade rating got decreased because of an inability to pass a budget, this is much bigger. Secondly, it's a small nation and much, much more prone to economic downturns.
An independent Scotland would likely fare Ok in the end, but you're awfully sure about a lot of things you can't possibly be that sure about
