In addition, some companies will have the challenge of the country leaving the EU by the end of the year to understand and manage, as well as new market opportunities.’
“The end of the transition period will affect businesses and citizens, as well as travel to and from the EU.‘
“Our business and skills team have been busy supporting local businesses since March, signposting them to help, advice and funding, and have helped to distribute over £100m in business grants.’
“The business survey will help us to understand where this support is needed most and help us to plan for the long-term so that we can support businesses to recover and build resilience.”
