The UK leaves the EU

In line with the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK departed the EU at 11pm on Friday night. The transition period began on 1 February 2020 and will end on 31 December 2020.

During this time, EU law will continue to operate as it does now in the UK.

A period of change from early next year will impact the import and export of goods and services, and the EU Settlement Scheme. Businesses are advised to prepare themselves for every eventuality.

Brexit4Business is dedicated to providing guidance to local companies, so that they can get their businesses and staff Brexit-ready.

It offers free-to-access bespoke advice to companies regarding their specific needs, as well as holding free workshops for businesses to find out more on import and export documentation and the EU Settlement Scheme after Brexit.

This service is fully funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority and The Business Board.
