Brexit - now's the time to Plan, Act and Engage

 

Mark explains  'There is no single reason for this, but contributing factors may be that the blanket coverage has created Brexit fatigue and also that despite the omnipresent reporting, the negotiations remain at a relatively early stage and there will not be a final outcome on the post Brexit trading environment for some time yet.  InterTradeIreland have recently launched a Brexit Advisory Service and are encouraging SMEs that now is the time to Plan, Act, and Engage to identify potential risks and opportunities, and what actions can be taken to mitigate and maximise them.  

 

The Brexit Advisory Service offers a ‘Start to Plan’ Voucher which is 100% funded up to £ / €2,000 and provides SMEs with professional consultancy from a panel of subject matter experts on assessing exposure to potential tariffs, the practical implications of complying with Rules of Origin requirements and also tax / VAT and currency management.  We have added case studies to our website of the practical benefits identified by SMEs that have commenced planning and have compiled a Glossary of Terms for the whole new language that has developed in relation to Brexit.'
