Act now to prepare for Brexit
05 Nov 2020
With 2020 having been dominated by Covid-19 and its implications Brexit has, until now, taken a bit of a back seat. And yet, come the end of the year, when the transition period ends, there are some significant implications for all businesses.
Key things you need to be aware of and act on include:
-
Reviewing your contracts, terms of business and payment terms – they may no longer be relevant.
-
Changes in travel and visa requirements which will affect any travel to the EU, EU nationals or UK nationals living overseas.
-
Changes in tariffs, import VAT, insurance and VAT registration plus the need to register for an EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) for businesses that import or export goods, either as sales or in their supply chain.
To help SMEs prepare for Brexit, we have produced some helpful materials including:
-
Preparing for Brexit: A Guide for SMEs (including helpful links to tools and further resources); and a 15-point Action Plan.

The economic consequences of Brexit are unclear and depend on many factors. Businesses need to plan ahead, including preparing cashflow forecasts to ensure they know what money they need, when and where they will get it from. SMEs need to act now to ensure there is no disruption to their business.
