No-deal Brexit readiness business guide
Download the 10 step guide now
While it can be tricky to keep track of UK’s continuously evolving political situation, what we do know is that on 31st January 2020, the UK left the EU, and entered into a transition period which will last until 31st December 2020, during which time the UK and EU can negotiate their ongoing relationship. With not too much time left before that deadline, it’s worth getting to grips with how Brexit could affect your business after the end of the transition period, and to start getting prepared.
We’ve teamed up with The Coalition for a Digital Economy (Coadec) and the UK Tech Cluster Group, to try and disseminate for tech startups and scaleups, what they need to do to get ready for a potential “no-deal” Brexit. Explore the practical guide, on the top 10 topics you need to know to get no-deal Brexit ready.
