The Government have put all the Brexit guidance in one single place now – just search in Google “EU Exit Tool” and it will get you to this website:

https://www.gov.uk/find-eu-exit-guidance-business

On this site, you can search by business sector to find out what direct impact is anticipated in that sector.

Any business importing/exporting post Brexit (assuming a no deal) needs an EORI number (Economic Operator Registration and Identification number.) If you have not yet done this, please go to the following website:

Grants

The Government are giving out grants to help businesses look to new markets, these are distributed via the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Their website is as follows:

http://www.the-lep.com/for-business/business-finance/lep-grants/

They have a sizable grant fund available to support ‘Export for Growth’ and will ‘fund match’ any expenditure (planned and not yet undertaken) to support export activity, but interestingly this can include:

1. Overseas travel to new markets
2. Re-design of websites in foreign languages
3. Research costs when looking at new markets.

The minimum grant claim is £1k, with no maximum.
