Webinar December 2020- Preparing your Business for Brexit ©

This interactive workshop clarifies the key issues your business needs to address in preparation for the end of the Transition Period with the EU – both as importers and exporters, and regardless of whether a Free Trade Deal is negotiated.

Delegates will be given a checklist they need to work through for definitive action before 31.12.20 which will also take into account contingency plans in the case of a Free Trade Agreement with the EU.

Each of the issues that will impact your business will be explained, followed by details of the action which needs to be taken in order to be prepared.

Where relevant, template documents will be issued for delegates to adapt for their own business.  Course notes will be provided.

Due to Covid 19, the workshop will be delivered in a series of 2 hour webinars over the course of 5 days.
