I read the article and i just dont agree on some points.

One point is that basic income would mean an increase in new businesses forming. The problem is that while yes, more people will have the ability to start a business. The increase burdon of taxes and most likely, regulations that go along with it, will make it difficult to move from the startup phase to actually running a profitable company.

Countries like denmark and sweden are great examples of this in action: small companies are scarce,the majority of investors avoid them, and most people either work for the government or a large company.

Do you have any links to back up your claim about sweden and denmark? I live and work in Sweden and my view is that there is great many small companies here.
