What does Brexit mean for your business?

The UK public has voted to exit the EU in a national referendum which took place on the 23rd June 2016.  The question on everybody’s lips is; will the UK economy go into recession following the decision to leave the EU?

Leaving the EU could have the following effects for UK businesses:

Challenges

• The economy goes into a recession and people’s spending habits change
• Uncertainty for businesses trading with EU countries with the potential loss of access to the single market
• Import taxes and tariffs being levied against UK businesses trading with EU countries
• The loss of subsidies from the EU which supplements some UK industries
• A potentially smaller workforce available in the UK

Opportunities

• Potentially less red-tape, however EU rules and regulations still apply for trading with EU countries
• Potentially more trade deals with non-free trade countries
• Some industries e.g. fishing can now operate without EU quotas
• Potential tax reductions for businesses as the UK doesn’t have to contribute to the EU budget
