Q u i c k S t a r t : T o B R E X I T
on 23 June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. In the time that has passed since, many businesses operating in the UK and mainland Europe have faced high levels of uncertainty with many finding it difficult to make key decisions in preparation for the future.
We understand that the situation is fluid and the challenges are plentiful and complex. But we are also convinced that Brexit offers opportunities for those who act quickly.
our international expansion experts are well versed in helping firms select, establish and operate in new countries, whether that be in the UK, across the EU-27 or further afield.
Based on our experience of serving more than 15,000 clients our ‘QuickStart: to Brexit’ helps businesses figure out what Brexit means for them and continue operating as painlessly as possible while realising opportunities to thrive post-March 29 2019.
Personal ised Brexit Working Sessions – mit igating r isks and real ising oppor tunit ies
our Brexit Working Sessions are at the heart of our QuickStart and comprise of interactive and private gatherings designed to run through questions, hypotheses and scenarios in a safe environment. We challenge your team to re-evaluate their existing assumptions and look at your readiness for life after March 2019 with a fresh pair of eyes.
Based upon our experience with clients of all sizes and from a broad spectrum of industries, our seasoned experts will help you create practical action plans to ensure you are as prepared as possible to mitigate risks and capitalise on the opportunities which are sure to arise. We work with you to:
• explore likely and unlikely scenarios tailored to your situation – in view of macro political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental change, within your specific operating environment
• conduct a ‘readiness assessment’ – examining the potential impact of each scenario and countries you may be considering
• identify immediate actions which can be taken now to help you rapidly prepare for Brexit – logical proactive steps which are not necessarily reliant on the final deal terms
• create a contingency plan – a board level quality guide to help you refine your Brexit plan, whatever happens
• grant your firm access to TMF Group’s Post-Brexit Guidance and Support – access to our Brexit-specific help desk and 7,000 experts based in 80 jurisdictions to get real-time answers as questions and issues arise.
