Sage & Co brief Brexit commentary

Brexit is a significant uncertainty for small and medium-sized businesses.

Advice and Planning

There is lots of advice available on planning for businesses.
We have found the following useful:Welsh Government have a Brexit portal that includes a tool to assess a businesses’ position:
Welsh Government Brexit Portal

National Government has provided a series of technical notices that are very specific:
H.M. Gov. Brexit Help sheetsHMRC have provided a pack of documents to help guide businesses:

HMRC Partnership Pack
Funding
The challenges of Brexit could well strain a business’s finance. If this is likely because there is a need to increase stock levels as a planning tool for example or if there is just a concern, it may be sensible to strengthen liquidity sooner rather than later, banks will often understand and be helpful as may other funders. There is also other funding available:Welsh Government have also launched a Brexit resilience fund:
