NEW SUITE OF POST-BREXIT SUPPORT OFFERED TO LEICESTERSHIRE BUSINESSES WITH EU CONNECTIONS

NEW SUITE OF POST-BREXIT SUPPORT OFFERED TO LEICESTERSHIRE BUSINESSES WITH EU CONNECTIONS

At a time when business survival is the number one priority for SMEs, keeping abreast of the many changes in legislation that are being drafted in with immediate effect can leave business owners bewildered and unsure of how to find, interpret and activate this new information for their own operations – and that runs the risk of devastating or costly consequences.

Any business that has a connection with Europe, be it via employing EU nationals, holding EU data, supply chains or trading goods, is encouraged to contact the Business Gateway Growth Hub where they can arrange to discuss their concerns with an expert adviser.

To expedite the flow of critical information to the region’s SMEs, the Business Gateway Growth Hub has launched a suite of specialist support, including online events that are free to access.  The Growth Hub is keen to be recognised as the ‘go-to’ resource for accurate and up to date guidance and business support on the EU Transition.   

ONLINE SUPPORT

Getting to grips with the essentials, the Hub is hosting a free webinar in partnership with LeicestershireLive on Wednesday 24th February from 11am – 12:15pm.

This free to attend online session will explain the new rules of importing and exporting goods between the UK and EU, including discussions around best practice and red tape.  It will consider effective supply chain management and how business owners can develop an emergency plan of action.

Register NOW for Trading with Europe Growth Hub webinar on 24/02.

1-2-1

Specialist support and expertise with dedicated advisers is also available via 1-2-1 telephone and virtual sessions, to help business owners diagnose challenges and signpost them to sources of support, grant funding, webinars and expert content. 

All are fully funded so free of charge to access.

Jon Egley, Growth Hub Manager, comments;

“Although Brexit has been in the headlines for a number of years, the delays regarding the final deal and numerous legislation changes left many business owners in the dark about next steps.  Couple this with the COVID-19 pandemic and you have a perfect storm where SMEs across Leicestershire are exposed from an information and support perspective. 

“We, at the Business Gateway Growth Hub, aim to make the transition as smooth as possible by streamlining the way we offer support and guidance to business owners, so that they can focus on running their businesses and ensuring their survival, rather than hunting for accurate and up to date information”.

Jon continues;

“Whether you have a general query or are looking for advice on a more complex topic, the team is here to help. Simply head to our website and submit an enquiry form to arrange for one of our business advisers to give you a call. Alternatively, you can sign up to attend a webinar, which is entirely free of charge, or  call our EU support helpline on 0116 482 1111.”
