Brexit frustrations and how to remove them

We are not alone in wondering how the UK managed to reach the current position of political chaos surrounding the UK departure from a trading bloc that is Brexit: Advice and comments are being offered from leaders around the world including not unexpectedly from EU leaders and possibly less helpfully from Donald Trump Jr. For many, Leavers and Remainers alike, this seemingly endless round of political shenanigans is not only a source of incredulity but also of deep frustration whether this derives from the long-term impact of this collective political failure or immediate reaction to the most recent reports from Laura Kuenssberg or Robert Peston.

However SMEs should not be distracted by the political chaos from the serious business of planning for their future in the Brexit world – whatever that may look like – and taking control is a very effective way of removing those Brexit frustrations.

For several weeks now WSM have been producing a series of articles to help SMEs plan for Brexit covering everything from applying for an EORI, which every VAT registered business should do, to checking you passport and mobile phone contract before you travel to the EU and from helping staff with their right to reside in the UK to accelerating capital expenditure. I have included the links for the articles here: Action plan for SMEs importing and exporting click here and Action plan for SMEs Employment click here .
