Brexit Checklists, Events & Training
Introduction
The GBCC has teamed up with the West Midlands Combined Authority, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and the Black Country Chamber of Commerce to scale up existing support for West Midlands businesses to help them prepare for the end of the Brexit transition period.
Over the coming months we will be providing a range of FREE events, resources and training programmes for businesses based in the West Midlands Combined Authority area to help them navigate this period and get ready for 2021.
Brexit Checklists
The GBCC has designed a series of Brexit checklists to help businesses prepare for the new trading arrangements with the EU. The purpose of the checklists is to highlight the key areas of Brexit related change that you will need to consider and any actions you need to take to ensure you are ready for the end of the transition period.
The Brexit checklists cover the following topics:
- Importing Goods (access here)
- Exporting Goods (access here)
- Delivering Services in the EU (access here)
- Transferring Data, Intellectual Property & Public Procurement (access here)
- Employing EU Nationals (access here)
